MATCH REPORT 17/11/07 FIRST TEAM

Freethorpe travelled to Mundford to take on a determined and resolute home team. The first half saw Freethorpe have the lions share of possession with most of it played out in their opponents half. However, due to a combination of excellent defending, good goalkeeping and men behind the ball, Mundford managed to contain Freethorpe for all of the first half. In the second half Freethorpe continued to pass the ball and tempt the home team out. Patience was required to ensure Freethorpe maintained their shape and organisation whilst searching for the opening goal. On the hour mark the deadlock was broken in style when prolific topscorer Rix scored four sensational goals in nine sensational minutes. The first from the edge of the box, second following a richochet, the third a header and the fourth from the penalty spot. Freethorpe were now well and truly on top and Hurley, Lawton and Smith added further goals to make the final score 7-0. A fair scoreline but much credit must go to Mundford for their determination throughout. Now onto two tough cup games in the next two weeks. Lets give it our best shot lads.
