MATCH REPORT 7/10/07

FREETHORPE FC U14

Freethorpe U14's played in a tough game against Shrublands B in the first round of the cup. Although Freethorpe won, this was a game they could easily have lost. Freethorpe started well and took the lead via a goal from Nathan only to then concede a goal from a free kick. After this Shrublands spent most of the time in and around Freethorpe's 18 yard box and could they have been at least 4-1 up at half time. The score however remained 1-1 at this point. At the beginning of the second half Shrublands deservedly went into a 3-1 lead. Following this the game was to completely change. Thanks to good saves by Ben, a great goal line clearance by Dan and then a hattrick from Nathan followed by a good goal from Mark, Freethorpe ended up winning 5-3. Hopefully this game was a wake up call for all the boys as they have now used up a huge slice of this seasons' good luck. Thanks go the the referee and all the supporters. Next game at home against Hemsby kick off 1.30pm.
