FREETHORPE v CNSOBU RESERVES LEAGUE HOME

Freethorpe entertained CNSOBU Reserves naming an unchanged side after the excellent performance the previous week. Freethorpe got off to a great start when Skipper Whitefoot rifled in the first goal from 20 yards after good hold-up play from Rix. Then it was the turn of fellow striker Hurley to make his mark on the game scoring four goals in the space of 30 first half minutes. His first came when he broke the offside trap to calmly pass the ball past the advancing keeper. His second followed shortly after with a tap in following a well struck shot from Garside. Hurley completed his hatrick after beating the last defender and slotting the ball past the keeper once again. His fourth and freethorpes fifth was added on the stroke of halftime with an excellent volley from a Barber cross from the right. Although playing well in the second half Freethorpe never lived up to the quality of the first half. CNSOBU worked hard to contain Freethorpe and their keeper made a string of excellent saves to keep the score down. Garside scored midway through the second half with an exquisite first touch to set up his shot from an acute angle. Top scorer Rix rounded off the scoring latching onto a good through ball by Read. Another good team performance and importantly a clean sheet. Keep up the good work lads. Next Match: Away to Long Stratton Res. 2pm KO.
