MATCH REPORT 23/2/08 FIRST TEAM

Freethorpe continued their recent run of good form with a hard earned win against a strong Norwich CEYMS side. It was a hard fought game which was well handled by the stand in referee especially considering the quite physical nature of the game. Freethorpe did not ever get into the rhythym of the previous week but did manage to create some decent chances. The first fell to Ward after just two minutes when he rattled the bar with a strong header. The same player repeated the feat 10 minutes later. The deadlock was eventually broken on the stroke of halftime when Rix was felled in the box with a clear run on goal. Rix picked himself up and brushed himself down to confidently convert the spotkick. The second half was aa close affair with Freethorpe having more possession but with the visitors remaining resolute throughout. The keeper was in fine form and made some excellent saves. Final score 1-0. A good result in difficult circumstances.Next Match: v Watton Utd Res 2.30pm kick off.
