Anglian Combination
Division Four
Wymondham Town Res v Freethorpe

Freethorpe travelled to Wymondham Town following a good midweek performance and 3-0 win against Hindringham. Wymondham Town started brightly and the game always looked as though it would be a tight affair with both teams displaying plenty of desire and commitment. Chances were at a premium with defences on top at both ends. Wymondham looked very comfortable in possession but lacked a real cutting edge. Freethorpe were a little more direct in their approach but it20was a very good move down the right which saw Simon Burns break through the home defence and rifle home the opening goal for the visitors. The second half was equally hardfought with Freethorpe remaining resolute. However, Wymondham got on level terms following a mix up between Burns and Pentney. Freethorpe were then hit with injuries to three key players. Firstly Read was withdrawn closely followed by Burns and Barber. Barber typified the spirit and effort of the team after trying to carry on following a nasty looking injury to his shoulder, from which we wish him a speedy recovery. Substitute Danny Lawton was soon involved in the action and scored with an exquisite lob from 20 yards to seal a deserved victory against very good opponents.
