Tornadoes storm to victory!
After last weeks set back, Tornadoes boys showed a good attitude and they all played well in an excellent team performance.
Started with Joseph in goal, Harry & Brn at the back, Ethan on the right, Kyle in the middle, Josh left and James up front. Dylan & Seb on the bench. Up the slope and against the wind, didn't stop the boys from creating a chance within first minute, nice passing between Josh and Kyle and Kyle's good shot was well saved.
Dylans spell on the sideline only last two minutes as Ethan took a nasty knock and had to come off. On three minutes again good play led to Kyles shot just going wide. Yellows though forced Joseph into a good save. Continued to be end to end stuff, we went close from two corners before again Joseph had to make a good save on 9. On 11 mins Kyle hit another good effort which was well saved once again. Next twelve minutes good defending meant it was just half chances for both teams. Ben & Harry playing superbly together at the back.
Tornadoes though took the lead just before the interval, good ball from Josh to Ethan who put it nicely into the path of Kyle who smashed it in from close range. 1-0 to Tornadoes half time.
At the interval Seb came onto the left, and he showed good battling qualities, as we started the half well with Kyle and Dylan forcing more saves from the impressive Yellows keeper. Harry made a good run on 30 minutes and this nearly led to a goal. At the other end Joseph was forced into making two good saves with his legs on 33 and 40 minutes. A minute later after nice build up Josh got the last touch before the Yellows player trying to clear could only help into the net. Goal of the game on 43 minute, nice pass to Kyle I think from Dylan, who took the ball down to the byline before passing perfectly across the goal for Josh to make no mistake tapping the ball home. Those kind of the goals are what we want to see, plenty of good team work. on 45 minutes as Yellows pushed forward, Josh playing in striker role got his hat-trick a good shot unfortunately for the Yellows taking a deflection to give the keeper no chance.
With the game won made a few more changes, and the Yellows got a deserved consolation goal when a long range strike this time beat Joseph. Still time for both teams to go close in the last two minutes, but the game ended 4-1 to the Tornadoes.
A really strong performance from all, made it so hard to make substitutions, has all deserved to stay on. For man of the match again this was such a hard decision, Seb battled well on the left, Joseph made some fine stops, James laid the ball off well in the striker position, Dylan passed well at times, and showed plenty of good touches, Ethan set up goal and went close on a few occasions, Ben really strong once again at the back, Kyle another terrific hard working performance in the middle, scorer and provider of goals, but sharing the award today were Josh & Harry.
Josh was excellent on the left, making lots of good runs and putting in good cross's, and when asked to play up front, got his three goals by working hard and putting pressure on the defenders, great game Josh. While at the other end of the field against very lively and strong strikers, just as important was Harry's contribution, he won every challenge, came out of the defence excellently, passed superbly, fantastic Harry, keep up the hard work, keep believing in yourself!
This was a good win against a good Yellows team, and for once luck was on our side, but we were deserved winners. Look forward to our next game Monday against KYPC Storm. Well done all the boys. LETS GO TORNADOES!!!!!!
