FREETHORPE U12A GIRLS

THIS WEEK PLAYED STALHAM AT HOME.THE GAME STARTED AT A QUICK PACE WITH THE TACKLES FLYING IN.FREETHORPE WITH ELLAN P AND JESSICA H IN DEFENCE WORKED HARD AS STALHAM PRESSED EARLY ON.STALHAM SCORED AFTER 5 MINUTES BEATING LIBBY B IN GOAL WITH A LOW SHOT.

FREETHORPE'S RESPONSE WAS GOOD AND THE MIDFIELD OF OLIVIA S WORKING THE WHOLE PITCH AS USUAL,MISSY H HOLDING IN CENTRAL MIDFIELD AND REBEKAH G TACKERLING AND PASSING WELL GRADUALLY GOT FREETHORPE BACK INTO THE GAME.
ERIN K WAS SOMEWHAT ISOLATED UP FRONT BUT WORKED HARD AGAINST SOME STOUT DEFENDING.

ELLAN P THEN TOOK A KNOCK AND WAS REPLACED BY CLAIRE A WHO SLOTTED INTO MIDFIELD WELL WITH REBEKAH G DROPPING BACK INTO DEFENCE.DESPITE SOME GREAT DEFENDING ESPECIALLY FROM REBEKAH G AND THE BRAVE LIBBY B IN GOAL STALHAM DID SCORE AGAIN TO LEAD 2-0 AT THE BREAK.

THE SECOND HALF SAW MUCH THE SAME PATTERN OF PLAY.FREETHORPE NEVER GAVE UP AND CONTINUED TO BELIEVE IN THEIR ABILITY.FREETHORPE DID PUSH STALHAM HARD AT TIMES AND PRESSURISED THEM WELL WITH SEVERAL CORNERS AND SOME SHARP BREAKAWAYS.

OLIVIA S CONTINUED TO RUN ALL GAME COVERING EVERY BLADE OF GRASS ON THE PITCH AND REBEKAH G WAS OUTSTANDING IN DEFENCE WITH ELLAN P AGAIN LOOKING ASSURED WHEN SHE RETURNED TO THE FRAY.ERIN K NEVER HAD MORE THAN A HALF CHANCE UP FRONT BUT CONTINUED TRYING THROUGHOUT.

STALHAM SCORED TWICE MORE WITH LOW SHOTS PAST LIBBY B TO WIN 4-0.

THIS WAS A GREAT DISPLAY BY THE TEAM WITH ALL THE GIRLS WORKING TOGETHER AND FOR EACH OTHER AND SHOWS HOW MUCH THEY HAVE IMPROVED THIS SEASON.TO COMPETE AND NOT BE OVERRUN BY A SKILFUL AND VERY PHYSICALLY STRONG STALHAM TEAM WAS A TESTAMENT TO THEIR CONTINUING IMPROVEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT AS FOOTBALLERS.

JANE AND SHARON'S G.O.M. WAS OLIVIA S.
