MATCH REPORT FIRST TEAM 20/10/2007

Freethorpe FCFreethorpe progressed to the 3rd round of the Norfolk Junior Cup with a convincing 6-2 win over Holt Utd Reserves. Freethorpe looked strong from the outset and took the lead after just 2 minutes when Read pounced onto a throughball and slotted the ball neatly past the advancing keeper. Holt were undeterred and equalised on the quarter of an hour mark from a near post corner. Freethorpe regained the lead just minutes later through a wonder strike from top scorer Rix, flicking the ball over the last defender and volleying ferociously over the helpless keeper. Freethorpe extended their lead just before the break when Whitefoot played a good ball out to Burns who played into the path of Barber who rounded the keeper to slot home. Freethorpe did not let up after the break and quickly scored two further goals through the alert Mark Brown who twice pounced on mistakes by the Holt defence and keeper to help himself to two goals. Holt managed to score a second from a set piece on the hour mark but Freethorpe had the final say with a well taken goal by Read. A good solid performance from the whole squad and a very welcome return to first team action for Hurley following an injury layoff.Next match: Stalham Res at Home. 2pm kick off.
