Hanham (0) v Fry Club Colts (4) 22/01/06

 

The weather was sunny but very cold and during pre match warm up one side of the pitch was still white with frost.

 

Fry's kicked off into the sun and started in their normal determined way. 8 minutes in and the ball is played into the box and Ryan Ellett gets it down, turns and shoots. 1 - 0 to Fry's.

 

Good header by Jack Baber in the 12th minute went just wide. Fry's were not putting the ball through early enough or their passes not finding the target.

 

Fry's seemed to step it up a gear especially with Myles Jefferies & Jack Baber linking up together with some good moves.

 

Great start to the second half for Fry's as 3 minutes in, Harry Pople weaves through the defence and fires low shot 2 - 0

 

Good attempt from Evan Thomas with a long range shot on goal which is saved by the keeper.

Tom Sheehan is putting in some strong challenges in defence to stop the Hanham attack.

Tom Hooper is starting to take the goal kicks and is getting some good height and distance to them. Tom Rose, in the Fry's goal, comes out into his area and dives bravely at the feet of the advancing Hanham striker.

Dan Stone is having a strong game at the back and is committed to each challenge.

In the 40th minute Fry's have a strong shout for handball in the box which is not given by the ref but just after, a long ball in by Justin Skinner is tucked away by Ryan Ellett for his second. 3 - 0

Danny Curtis comes on for Tom Hooper in the 56th minute.

Good goal keeping by Hanham denies Fry's many times.

Ryan Ellett gets his hatrick in the 59th minute flicking the ball over keeper. 4 - 0

John Cotgreave comes on for Dan Buley with 10 minutes to go. Straight away he comes close with a volley over the bar.

For the remaining 8 minutes Josh Brooks and Lewis Marcham come on to add some fresh legs to the team. It’s another great win for the boys and a clean sheet for Tom Rose in goal.
