FREETHORPE U9S MATCH REPORT

Freethorpe this week travelled to a strong Hembsy C side, who earlier in the season had beaten us in a tightly contested game. Freethorpe started slowly, on a heavy pitch, however soon found there way, with Jordan-Lee working hard up front, Tyler and Henry battling in midfield, and Ashley and Joseph keeping things tight at the back. Within 5 minutes Freethorpe found themselves in front, an excellent corner by Ashley was parried by the keeper, the ball fell to Tyler whose attempted shot found its way to Henry, who slotted the ball home from 2-3 yards, making the score 1v0. Shortly afterwards, Jordan-Lee chased down a through ball, beat his man and his shot deflected off the keeper back off his legs and rolled over the line, leaving the score 2v0. With Hemsby C losing a player due to injury, Freethorpe piled on the pressure and not before long, Ashley burst through and pounced, blasting the ball home after another good save by the Hemsby keeper making the score 3v0 before the half time whistle. In the 2nd half, it was much tighter affair, with Ben being called into action in goal on numerous occasions and Lee making some important tackles in defence. However, despite Hemsby working hard to get back in the game, Freethorpe always looked dangerous on the counter attack, with the teams new formation working well. As the 2nd half drew to a close, another quick break from Tyler left him in shooting territory and excellent shot was parried by the keeper, only to fall to the advancing Matthew who finished well from 4 yards, for his 1st of the season. The game finished 4v0 and this was a very pleasing result and an excellent performance from everyone in the squad, with everyone playing their part. MoM Henry, our new midfield dynamo, who worked tirelessly in both attack and defence. Next match at home to Bungay Town, kick off time to be arranged.
