MATCH REPORT FIRST TEAM 29/4/09

Anglian Combination
Division Four Freethorpe v South Walsham (Wed 29.04.09)

Freethorpe played hosts to local rivals South Walsham in their last game of the season looking to secure fourth place and hopefully promotion to Division Three. Freethorpe continued their good form of late and looked very organised and difficult to break down. Although changes were made in defence due to the absence of Loomes they all coped superbly. The midfield worked hard to keep Walsham at bay and the strikers were a constant threat on the Walsham goal. The deadlock was eventually broken on the stroke of halftime when Rix struck for Freethorpe from another excellent corner from Mcmartin. The second half was hard fought and Freethorpe added a second goal when substitute Brown flicked on a Mcmartin Corner with Rix making sure from close range. Walsham to their credit were not done and pulled a goal back with five minutes remaining making the final minutes a tense affair. Final score 2-1. Its been another very good season for the club with all players showing amazing commitment and desire to the club. The club is extremely thankful for your efforts and hopefully we have done enough to secure a third successive promotion in our first three years in the Anglian Combination. A terrific achievement. Well done lads.
