FREETHORPE FC U11

Freethorpe played their last away fixture against a competitive Waveney B side. Freethorpe opened the scoring on three minutes when Cameron latched onto a long ball, his pace beating the Waveney defence before slipping the ball past the on rushing keeper. A clearance by Jack was collected by Tom, his pass finding the ever-present Reece and Freethorpe found themselves 2-0 up. Despite Waveney piling the pressure onto Freethorpe's goal their defencive four stood firm. More chances to increase Freethorpe's goal tally went begging with Aaron hitting the post and side netting and Cameron's shot rolling wide of the under fire Waveney goal. In a evenly matched game Waveney had their chances too, pulling one goal back just before the half time whistle. After the re-start Waveney continued to press Freethorpe and quickly levelled the score. Freethorpe then lost their shape for a time before Reece went on a spirited solo run beating three defenders before skipping round the Waveney keeper for a tap in. Again Waveney put up a fight levelling the score 3-3. Waveney continued to push for the win, but Ollie and the improving Sam made several vital clearances. Jake put in another good performance holding up the ball in midfield. With just 5 minutes left to play Reece was off again, leaving a trail of beaten defenders in his wake. His neat finish securing his hat-trick. Waveney then attacked Freethorpe's goal again , it looked as if a goal was certain , but with tremendous effort from Aaron, Ryan and goalkeeper Marcus the attack was broke up. Another good goalkick from Marcus found Reece who squared the ball to the right wing to the on-form Aaron, his shot slotting in beneath the diving Waveney Keeper. An entertaining game played by two evenly matched sides. A jubilant Freethorpe the victors 5-3 finally winning their first away game, a well deserved result for such a well played team effort. Well done to the whole team. M.o.M was Jack for his faultless performance.
