1st half

Frys kick off and Longwell Green force an early corner which we deal with well. Longwell are forcing the pace of the game and earn a free kick which hits the post. We then start to play a little bit and Eli comes close to scoring. Jacob is playing well at the back winning everything and we are now in control with Owen hitting the post with a long range effort. Longwell Green then have a long range effort of their own well saved by Brandon. There was a funny five minutes where a member of the Longwell Green supporters wanted to have a heated argument with the ref and our parents. This drew the focus away from a good game of football between two well matched teams and the first half finished 0-0.

 

2nd half

Frys come close early on with the Longwell Green keeper making a good save from a shot from Eli. Ref then  'has a mare' asking the boys "who kicked the ball out"? Brandon makes a good save. Frys battled hard to look for the winner but the game turns into a midfield battle with neither side testing the keepers. 0-0 full time.

 

Man of Match; LEWIS HOLT Outstanding display of tough tackling and good range of passes.

1ST half

 

Ellis makes a good save as Longwell dominate the early possession. Finally after 10mins Frys start passing better and create a few chances although Longwell look more likely to score. A great break from Callum creates a good chance for Josh James who fires just wide.

Half time 0-0.

        

2nd half

Longwell score virtually straight from the kick off catching Frys cold. Longwell have another chance but Ellis saves well making himself big. The Longwell keeper makes a good one on one save from Sam as Frys try to equalize. The game becomes open and starts going from end to end. Ref gives a dubious penalty and Josh Seeley scores from rebound. Frys are looking stronger and are now pushing to find winner. Harry hits a screamer from 20 yards, the keeper finds it too hot to handle and is unable to stop it hitting the back of the net for the winner 2-1 Frys at full time.   

 

Man of Match: ELLIS JONES For some outstanding saves and great goal kicking which kept forcing Longwell back towards there own goal.          

 

 

Webmaster comment: Football is a game of opinions and that is part of what makes it the game it is. Not having been present at the match I do get the impression that some of the referee’s decisions were questionable. A polite question or two after the match to obtain another view on a contentious decision is perhaps acceptable but not during it. See The FA.com  Parent
