FREETHORPE U11

Freethorpe played a battling Yarmouth Youth side in their first home game of the season. Freethorpe attacked the Yarmouth Youth defence from the off. Playing their best game so far, Freethorpe's pressure paid off when Reece scored an excellent goal on 15 mins. Shortly after another long range shot from Reece narrowly missed the target, rebounding off the crossbar,Yarmouth scored on the break after a fine diving save from Marcus. The on form Reece then scored 2 more goals in quick succession, his second hat trick in two weeks. Elliot, Tom and Aaron were dominant in midfield keeping the pressure up on Yarmouth Youth. The second half saw Freethorpe playing uphill and into the Sun, which caught out Marcus when a looping shot came in from long range. In a hard contested match with neither side giving up the win Freethorpe continued to battle hard, Ollie and Ryan covering well for the less experienced players at the back. Cameron, getting used to his upfront role beat his defender with his pace scoring Freethorpe's forth goal. After Yarmouth scored again in an end to end game Tom had a long range effort deflected by the keeper only for Cameron to pounce on the loose ball scoring his second for the day. With Yarmouth scoring their forth goal in the last few minutes of the game the win was never safe. A huge sigh of relief when the final whistle blew Freethorpe the winners 5-4. A vastly improved performance from the whole team resulted in the entire squad being named M.O.M. A well deserved result from all the hard work put in and something to build on next time.
