MATCH REPORT 13/9/08 FIRST TEAM

Anglian Combination Division 4 Freethorpe v Easton

Off the back of a convincing win last week Freethorpe started in lightning fashion against a very good Easton side. With just 3 minutes on the clock Rix pounced on an excellent ball across from Read to volley home and put Freethorpe into an early lead. The game was well contested and both sides were carving out chances and playing good football. However, it was Freethorpe who doubled their lead on 30 minutes when a Smith Freekick was met by Hurley who headed the ball over the keeper. Hurley had a chance to put the game beyond reach but was unlucky to see his diving header go over the bar. Easton came out strong in the second half and kept the home side on the back foot. Freethorpe had a couple of further chances but it was Easton who got back into the game from a well taken corner and finish. The game opened up in the last 10 minutes but Freethorpe held on for victory in what was a very entertaining game.
