FREETHORPE U11S

Freethorpe recorded their second win of the season beating Loddon 5-3. A thrilling match against a battling Loddon side. Freethorpe opened the scoring with a 20 yard shot from Elliot after some excellent passing football from Reece and Tom. Loddon then equalized from close range from a loose ball. Freethorpe however quickly regained the lead with Cameron getting on the score sheet again. Tom then got his first goal for the season, his continued strong presence in midfield earning him M.O.M. Freethorpe continued to play good passing football and were rewarded with their forth goal, Elliots second for the day. As the half time whistle blew it looked like Freethorpe would get a comfortable win. After the break however Loddon started the brighter pegging Freethorpe back into their own half. Defending deeper and deeper they got themselves into trouble inviting Loddon to score twice more before sorting themselves out and regaining their shape. A foul saw Reece step up to take a freekick from some 25 yards. His curling goal of the season beat the 3 man wall and the keeper to find the top corner of the net. Another chance went begging late in the game when Aaron's flick on to Cameron saw the speedy striker spoon his shot over the bar from inside the 6yd. box. Lessons to be learnt for this game, but generally a good performance and the second win on the bounce. Well done U11's.
