Match report   Fulford began their pre-season build up with a friendly at Thorpe Utd. Both teams were evenly matched in the first 30 minutes. The best chance fell to Thorpe when their striker raced clear, but was denied by an excellent last-ditch tackle from Tom B, just as the striker was about to shoot.

Fulford took the lead when a corner from James was flicked on by Will M, which fell to Frankie who scored from close range. Thorpe equalised just before half time when the Fulford defence made some very tired clearances, the ball then finally fell to a Thorpe midfielder who chipped the ball into the box where it was squared to a Thorpe striker who scored with an excellent strike into the bottom right hand corner.

Thorpe then dominated the opening stages of the second half as the Fulford team tired in the warm conditions, due to a lack of substitutes. Thorpe scored two tremendous long range strikes into the right hand top corner. it was very harsh on Adam as he'd had a fine game in goal on his 11 a side debut, but could do nothing about the three goals.

Fulford stuck with it and had two chances to pull back a goal. Firstly, a long range free kick from Joe C was parried by the Thorpe keeper, but he recovered very well to dive at the feet of Callum who had chased in the rebound. In the closing stages Fulford swept forward down the right, and Will M cut inside to put in a very dangerous cross that was deflected onto the bar by a Thorpe defender.

The pick of the Fulford performances was from Joe C who was very composed on the ball in midfield and also Peter who made some very determined and brave challenges in defence.

Thorpe were the deserved winners and many thanks to all at Thorpe Utd for hosting the friendly.
