MATCH REPORT 24/11/07 RESERVES

Freesthorpe Res v Mousehold This week Freethorpe got their fist league win of the season on what turned out to b a eventful day. Having got changed we had to get back in to our cars and drive round Norwich to the pitch ( Fun with football boots on) The pitch itself was kids size with a surface like the moon and trees overhanging one touchline and just to add to the fun yet again we had no ref. However this all adds to the fun as its the same for both sides and their player who reffed the game done a great job. Freethorpe started with father and son ( Willie and liam) playing together in the team for the first time which worked well as willie was injured after 5 mins by which time Freethorpe should have been 2 up. As it was Freethorpe took the lead via Liam after 15 mins and were looking good untill about 25 mins when Mousehold scored to make it 1-1 , Freethorpe then went straight up the other end and took the lead when Adam slotted home. For the rest of the game Freethorpe had spells of playing some very good football and spells of playing utter rubbish. In the second half Ben burst the ball with one of his drops kicks and Adam got the winner 10 mins from time. After the game we all found out where the saying freezing your xxxx off comes from as to save the car journey back to the changing rooms we changed out side and that meant that mark the only player who had ridden with someone else had to walk back which was quite funny.
