FREETHORPE FC U9S

Freethorpe this week faced a strong Hemsby C side at home and a big performance was needed to help maintain their excellent start to the season. Freethorpe started well and had a couple of opportunities to open the scoring early on, with Tyler working hard in midfield and Jordan-Lee and Henry making good runs at the opposition defence. Soon after, a goal mouth scramble in the Freethorpe area led to a Hemsby goal and the lads found themselves 0v1 down. As the half went on, Freethorpe nearly scored with Liam bursting through on a 1 on 1 and Jordan-Lee also coming close with a couple of efforts saved well by the Hembsy keeper. A rousing team talk at half time done the trick and Freethorpe came out in the 2nd half looking for a goal to get back into the game. A long throw from Tyler into the Hemsby box, found Henry who pounced on some mis-communication in the Hemsby defence to slip a shot into the net and bring the scores level. From this point onwards, the game went from end to end, with both teams battling really hard trying to get the result. Around 5 minutes from the end, a long throw into the Freethorpe box caused problems for the Freethorpe defence, who simply didnt do enough to clear the danger, a shot found its way past Ben and Hemsby regained their lead. A frantic last 5 minutes was not enough for Freethorpe, who went down to only their 2nd loss of the season 1v2. MoM Henry, for being a threat throughout and giving 110% effort all game. No match next week, training Monday night at 6pm
