Dan Buley (John Cotgreave) Jake Payne (Josh Fann)

With a new found confidence, Fry’s approached this game in a positive attitude. Maybe they had become a little complacent because 3 minutes after kick off failed to defend the first attack from Thornbury and a week shot found its way under the diving Tom Rose. Not a good start !!.

Midfield battle Credit to the boys though, they came battling back and after 7 minutes a through ball from Justin Skinner found Dan Buley who lobbed it over the Thornbury keeper to bring the scores level. Goal!

The first half continued with Frys having numerous chances but could not get the ball past the Thornbury keeper who was having an excellent game.

The second half saw Fry’s at the form of old that they played last season with football that was a joy to watch. Good possession with some excellent passing was just too much for the opposition and paid off with another 3 goals. Evan Thomas blasted the ball in from the edge of the area, Danny Curtis with that trusty right boot from the spot scored a penalty and Dan Buley scored his second with a header from a corner. John Cotgreave, after coming on as sub to replace Dan, came very close to getting a 5th for Fry’s but shot just wide into the side netting.

 

In general, it was a good performance, and a well deserved victory
