MATCH REPORT 14/9/08


Freethorpe started their first game in Div 1 the same way they 
normally start a season ie 10 men , only this time they had no 
goalkeeper so well done to Tom Charles for stepping in. Add to this one 
of the lads was off injured almost straight away and it was a game of 
keep the score down!

This meant that Gorleston were left to play the football while 
Freethorpe had to try and catch them on the break with the big boot! 
The end result was a 5-1 defeat so well done to all the boys who never 
gave up and never stopped running. Freethorpe Scorer N Howard


Freethorpe U15 v Caister 28/9/08


This week Freethorpe started with nine players (one injured!) and had 
a tenth roll up after 20 mins , so done well to win 3-0 at Caister. 
Well done to J.Dent for staying on the pitch the whole game , well done 
to Dan for playing in goal , well done to Tyler for your goal , and 
well done all the boys for wanting to keep the team going and play in 
the first div! how long we can last like this who Knows?

On the plus side we should now have a goalkeper on the minus side we 
have lost a player who would rather play for a team in the Norwich 
league so he win win 10-0 every week!

Freethorpe U15 V Waveney A 12/10/2008

Starting with 8 this week and 9 once Mark arrived ( comminted enough 
to rush 30 miles to get there after 20 mins having done another sport 
in the morning) Freethorpe put on a fantasic performance and can 
consider themselfs very unlucky not to have got at least a point from 
the game. Though riding their luck a bit in the first half Freethorpe 
were 2-0 up at the break , after the rest however it took a while for 
their legs to get going and the score was soon 2-2. Just when you would 
have though the floodgates would have opened Freethorpe came back into 
the game but despite hitting the crossbar and having three one on ones 
failed to score. Waveney also failed to take their chances but won the 
game with a shot from distance hence the score was freethorpe 2 Waveney 
3. A super performance from all the boys scorers were T .Charles and 
Dan.


 
 
Freethorpe U15 V Halesworth 19/10/2008 

This week the boys again only had 9 men so the aim was simple , keep 
the score below 10 and this they achived losing 7-0 to a good 
Halesworth side. Another fantasic effort by the boys.

Freethorpe under 15s V Pakefield B 9/11/2008

    This week playing with 10 the boys got there first point of the 
season playing against pakfield B. Freethorpe played with the wind in 
the first half and took the lead via D Mcgarth on half time. In the 
second Pakfield scored two and it looked like the ten were running out 
of steam when J Green popped up with a cracking finish. Yet another 
great effort.

Freethorpe U15 V Shrublands 16/11/2008


Playing with 11 for the first time this season the boys were simply 
awful.

Only james and three outfield players turned up enough said , well 
done to Shrublands for taken full advantage.


 

MATCH REPORT 7/10/07

Freethorpe U14's played in a tough game against Shrublands B in the 
first round of the cup.  Although Freethorpe won,  this was a game they 
could easily have lost.  Freethorpe started well and took the lead via 
a goal from Nathan only to then concede a goal from a free kick.  After 
this Shrublands spent most of the time in and around  Freethorpe's 18 
yard box and could they have been at least 4-1 up at half time.  The 
score however remained 1-1 at this point.  At the beginning of the 
second half Shrublands deservedly went into a 3-1 lead.  Following this 
the game was to completely change.  Thanks to good saves by Ben, a 
great goal line clearance by Dan and then a hattrick from Nathan 
followed by a good goal from Mark, Freethorpe ended up winning 5-3.  
Hopefully this game was a wake up call for all the boys as they have 
now used up a huge slice of this seasons' good luck.  Thanks go the the 
referee and all the supporters.  Next game at home against Hemsby kick 
off 1.30pm.

MATCH REPORT 14/10/07

FREETHORPE U14'S played at home against Hemsby Hornets, with the bare 
eleven players for the second time this season and won 4-0.  Hemsby, 
however, made Freethorpe work very hard for the points.  Freethorpe 
took the lead via Nathan and after this had much of the play.  Hemsby 
defended well and continued to be very dangerous on the break.  The 
second half was much the same until Freethorpe got their second again 
from Nathan.  After this with Hemsby forced to go for goal , Freethorpe 
scored two more, one from Sam and Nathan completing his hattrick.  This 
was a good and tough game for Freethorpe, and hopefully this is still a 
learning curve that they can do well in the league if they continue to 
work hard and keep their concentration throughout and also to call more 
for the ball!  Next game away to Waveney kick off at 12.30pm.

MATCH REPORT 21/10/07

MATCH REPORT 28/10/07

FREETHORPE U14'S unfortunately went one better than last week and 
played with nine instead of ten against league leaders Halesworth.  
Despite lack of players they were in with a chance of a point until 
Halesworth went 4-2 up with only twenty minutes left.  After this 
Freethorpe just decided to concentrate their efforts on going for goal 
and ended up losing 10-2.  Both goals came form Nathan the second after 
Tom Charles won a penalty.  Despite the scoreline and persistant wind 
and rain all nine boys put in a cracking performance.  Freethorpe are 
now seeking more players especially a central defender and central 
midfielder to help strengthen their squad.  If interested please 
telephone Darren on (01493) 700957 or just come to our training 
sessions at Freethorpe Playing field on Wednesday evenings at 6.00pm 
where you will be most welcome.

MATCH REPORT 4/11/07

FREETHORPE U14's with their players all back from holidays and injuries 
had a much better Sunday this week, winning Hempnall 8-1.  Goals came 
from Nathan, Sam, Mark and Tom Charles.  Great all round perfromance 
from all players with plenty of strong defending.  This week Freethorpe 
have a tough game in the cup against Gorleston A.  Kick off at home at 
2pm.

MATCH REPORT 11/11/07

FREETHORPE U14's put in an excellent performance against Gorleston 
Rangers A to run out 3-1 winners and  proceed to the semi-finals of the 
Cup.  Freethorpe began well hitting the post in the first minute 
followed up by a goal from Nathan.  After this a defensive mistake gave 
Gorlestion their equaliser.  This opened up the game with continued 
chances at both ends, with two more goals coming again from Nathan.  
Gorleston also hit the post and Ben then pulled off some great saves to 
keep the score at 3-1 at half time.  In the second half was much of the 
same apart from Ben and Dan hurling themselves at each other resulting 
in Dan coming off in a very nasty collision.  Outstanding performances 
by all the players with great work effort coming from Sam, Tom Charles 
and Elliot with his headers.  This week at home to Shrublands B, kick 
off at 10.30am.

MATCH REPORT 18/11/07

Freethorpe U14's played in another game against Shrublands B where 
anything could have happened, and with both teams having players 
missing.   In the first half and playing against a very strong wind 
Freethorpe managed to keep Shrublands out and score but then lost Dan 
due to injury and finding themselves down to ten players.  However, in 
the second half and with the wind it was a case of the next goal being 
all important.  Freethorpe scored early in this half via a good kick 
from Nathan to complete his hattrick.  Shrublands now went for goal 
leaving themselves open at the back and allowing Sam to get two more 
for Freethorpe.  Shrublands got one back after the Freethorpe 
goalkeeper unfortunately got a bit too much help in front of goal, when 
he already had his hands on the ball.  As always when these two sides 
meet, regardless of the score it was a good game and supported in the 
right way.  Thanks go to the referee Mike Read.  This week away to 
Loddon Grasshoppers.  Kick off is at 11.45am.

MATCH REPORT 16/12/07

FREETHORPE U14'S after a small break due to weather/pitch conditions 
were keen to get going again and this showed when they progressed to 
the quarter-final of the County Cup after a 4-0 win over Firside.  
Though Freethorpe had most of the play, Ben pulled off some good 
saves 
when needed.  Nathan got a hattrick and Sam was pleased to score 
another goal.  Billy played well after coming on for the last 20 
minutes in his first appearance for the club.  A good performance 
again 
from all the boys.  Well done and Merry Christmas.  Please note to 
keep 
Sunday 30th December free as we should have a rearranged game.  
Training will commence on Wednesday 2nd January.

MATCH REPORT 6/1/2008

Freethorpe U14 V Waveney B 


The boys got a good start to the new year with 3 points via a 2-1 win 
aganist Waveney B. With two goals from N Howard Freethorpe were 2-0 up 
and creating lots in the first half however despite playing good 
football at times could never find the third goal , the second half 
being the same untill the last 15 mins when Waveney pulled a goal back 
and then pushed for a second leaving Freethorpe with a nervous last 10 
mins. This week we will have to be at out best to stand any chance of 
staying in the county cup as we r playing one of the best teams in 
Norfolk

Freethorpe U 14 v Thorpe Rovers 
Current mood:  blank

Freethorpe u14 v Thorpe Rovers

Playing in the Q F of the county cup against a Thorpe Rovers side 
unbeaten in their own league or cup for over a year was always going to 
b a hard task , so to beat them with key players missing and lose 
another after 20 mins through injury was nver going to happen. 
Freethorpe to their credit naver gave up and realy give it a go but the 
result was never in question and was the boys biggest and only defeat 
in a long while. Result Thorpe 10 Freethorpe 1 Heads up boys youll 
never play no one better in kids football!

MATCH REPORT 27/1/08

Freethorpe U14 v`s Shublands B u1

The boys thought they were in for a easy ride as Shublands only had 9 
men and after going 2-0 up after 5 mins they knew this would b the case 
, however with the score 4-3 at half time they needed to b told that 
the ` let someone else do the hard work` attiude will get u points 
against no one. In the second half to their credit they sorted this and 
went on to win 10-3 with Natham scoring 8 and goals from Dan and Josh.
Well done to the Shublands boys for giving everthing and never letting 
their heads go down.

MATCH REPORT 10/2/08 

freethorpe U14 v Gorleston 
Current mood:  disappointed 
Category: Sports 


Freethorpe struggled to beat an improved Gorleston side , and though 
they got the points their play was not good and they will have to 
improve if they want to continue their good results and try to pass the 
ball to someone in a yellow shirt! Freethorpes scorers were N Howard 2 
and Da

MATCH REPORT 17/2/08

Frrethorpe u!4`s 
 

After last weeks 3-1 win against a much improved gorleston side this 
week Freethorpe put in a very good performance to beat loddon 1-0. 
Freethorpe created lots of half chances but took untill the second half 
to get the goal their play deserved. This was scored by N Howard 
following good work by M Robinson. Well played all in defence first 
clean sheet for a while with Ben in goal having little to do.This week 
we well have to b at our very best to have a chance in the cup SF v`s 
Shublands A

MATCH REPORT 24/2/08

Freethorpe u14

Freethorpe got probally their best result ever to get to the final of 
the cup with a 3-0 win over Shublands A. In a scrappy game where in all 
fairness Shublands were not at their best all the Freethorpe players 
worked their socks off.. Freethorpes first came from a great effot by 
Tom Charles well into the first half and Natham added 2 more in the 
second. Their were a few more half chances in the game which both sides 
missed though with the wind playing its part the ball was always 
swirling around making it hard for the forwards. Thanks to ref  D.
Wright and Shublands for a fantasic attitude unlike our last cup game. 

 MATCH REPORT 2/3/08

Freethorpe U14 v Hempnall 

In a game spoilt by the wind Freethorpe got another 3 points against a 
determined Hempnall who took an early lead and kept it for most of the 
first half. Once Freethorpe found a way through, the goals came from 
around the team with Perry getting his first for the team Sam 2, Mark1 
and Nathan scoring his 50 and 51st of the season. At last we are now 
getting a good squad together and at long last playing with only 11 or 
worse looks a thing of the past. For those of you who know the team 
could you ever imagine playing a game with Tom C, Dominic and Nathan 
all on the sideline together. However we can't be complacent boys, 
there's a long way still to go yet.

MATCH REPORT 9/3/08

freethorpe u 14`s vs Hemsby 


This week the boys used up a good slice of this seasons luck with 
their goal leading a charmed. life. Having gone a goal down for the 
second week running Freethorpe done their best to give Hemsby some more 
but they declined to take them. By the end of a game it probally should 
have been about 15-10 to Hemsby , as it was Freethorpe manged to take a 
few more of their chances to win 3-1 with goals from Nathan Tom C and a 
first for Tyler.

MATCH REPORT 23/3/08

Freethorpe u14s v Gorleston FC 
Current mood:  relieved 
Category: Sports 

With the holiday season upon us Freethorpe had a bare 11 out of their 
17 man squad this week to play Gorleston in a game played in cold 
conditions with snow throughout meaning this weeks game would b more a 
battle against the cold than anything else. Playing with the snow in 
the first half Freethorpe created a few good chances but only took one 
via N Howard with Gorleston scoring right on the half time whistle. 
Things got even worse for Freethorpe as they lost a player at half time 
maening they would b playing the whole of the second half with ten men 
and playing into the snow. Gorleston started the second half on top but 
failed to take their chances and Freethorpe took the lead from a great 
free kick from Nathan following good work from M Robinson. This settled 
Freethorpe down a bit and they secured the game following a goal from 
Dan after he switched places with Nathan.Well done to all the boys from 
both sides who all played their part in a very good game considering 
the conditions with some good football played at times. Thanks to 
Gorleston for the Easter treats.
