FREETHORPE U13

FREETHORPE U13's successfully got to the final of the Shield after beating Halesworth 3-1. As expected when playing a first division team Freethorpe were a little off the pace for the first twenty minutes, but did get players behind the ball and with three great saves from Ben kept Halesworth out until they settled in. After this, things then evened out and Freethorpe took the lead via a good ball from Dan with an equally good finish from Dominic Smith. Halesworth came back to equalise a little later making the game look very even once again. Freethorpe then took the lead again with a great goal again starting at the back from Dan then to Mark to play in for Dominic Smith to finish well again. Half time score was then 2-1. The second half again was very evenly matched until twenty minutes from time when Sam hit the third in with a good finish from around the penalty spot. After this Freethorpe changed players around and virtually 'shut up shop' apart from a couple of scares were comfortable to the end. Very good performance from the whole team who all played their part well. Let's hope Freethorpe can do themselves justice in the Final which will not be an easy game.
