FREETHORPE U9S

Freethorpe this week travelled to Bungay Town for their first early morning kick off of the season and started the game looking a little sleepy. A tight first half saw Freethorpe with most of the pressure and there was plenty of effort from all the boys, however the passing football seen in previous weeks performance was a miss and resulted in teams going in all square at half time. The 2nd half was a different story and some excellent passing football split the Bungay defence time and time again. Early in the 2nd half, some excellent work from Liam left Tyler with time and space to slam the ball home. Throughout the 2nd half, Freethorpe worked hard for each other and time and time again Freethorpe went close. Jordan had an excellent game up front, displaying excellent ball control and vision when on the ball and Matthew had another strong game both in defence and midfield as they game drew to a close. A combination of wasteful finishing and the crossbar left the final score 1v0 to Freethorpe in a match, which again showed the boys are really starting to understand that football is so much easier, when they are passing the ball around. MoM Jordan, for being a shining example to the passing football we want to be playing. Next Match at home to Gunton Youth, kick off time to be confirmed
