MATCH REPORT 2/2/08 FIRST TEAM

Freethorpe FC
After last weeks disappointment this weeks game was all about attitude and credit must go to the whole team for reacting in such a positive way to the criticiscm following last weeks game. Travelling to Aylsham we were pleasantly surprised by the conditions following the overnight flurry of snow. The home team started brightly and the opening 20 minutes or so were evenly contested. However, as soon as Freethorpe got the opening goal on 22 minutes the result never really looked in doubt. Rix got his first of the game planting the ball into the top corner from a corner. He quickly added his second scoring from a one on one with the keeper. Fellow strike partner Read got in on the act shortly after slotting home following good work from Barber and Ward. The prolific Rix then completed his hatrick before half time after excellent wing play from the sprightly Ward.Second half saw Freethorpe continue to add goals at regular intervals. Garside notched with a good long shot shortly followed by Lawton who went on a solo run before exquisitely lobbing the keeper. Rix scored his fourth after Ward had hit the bar from point blank range, and Read then netted twice in two minutes to complete his well earned hat trick. Skipper whitefoot completed the scoring to make the final score 10-0. A decent performance but more importantly was the application and effort. More of the same this week. Next Game: v Sprowston Wanderers Res at home. 2pm ko.
