MATCH REPORT 29/12/07 FIRST TEAM

Freethorpe finished 2007 with a home win against a hardworking Necton side. The game was played in windy conditions which did not make for pretty football from either team but Freethorpe ground out a result in a hard fought game. Freethorpe created a couple of chances early on with Rix pulling his shot wide with just the keeper to beat. Then it was the turn of fellow striker Lawton who shot wide with an open goal beckoning. However, Freethopre kept knocking on the door and were eventually rewarded when Ward was alert to a flick-on from Rix and poked the ball home. The second half was also a tight affair with defences looking solid. Once again it was the prolific Rix who wrapped the game up for Freethorpe adding two more goals to his tally. The first a header at the backpost from a good cross from Smith and the second a solo effort. A solid performance albeit not spectacular. Final score 3-0. Keep up the hard work lads. No game this week. Happy New Year from everyone at Freethorpe and best of luck to the reserves who entertain Ingoldisthorpe Reserves in the Norfolk Primary Cup.
