Under 10's Tornadoes Match Report - 12th October 2003 vs Generals White

The Under 10's Tornadoes managed a 1 - 1 against Generals White.

What a difference a week makes, the addiction of the last few weeks performances and now the cold turkey associated with our poorest performance in a long time – oh how we craved some extra chilli sauce to have spiced up this encounter!

In a game where the Tornadoes rarely looked as if they could enchant the expectant crowd they found themselves on the back foot early on from a surprise package of a Generals White team, who played well above themselves.

Midway through the first half the Tornadoes found themselves a goal down when from a corner the Whites managed to shish the ball into the Tornadoes net past a static defence. How would the Tornadoes react? – effort and commitment redoubled the Tornadoes clawed there way back into the game but rarely threatened to equalise.

1-0 down at half time several changes were made to the team and although having the lions share of the second half failed to apply any sustained pressure and create chances. As the sands of time drained away the Tornadoes put together one last flowing move fashioned by the half time substitutes. Glynn laid a pass down the left channel to Caller who beat two guys and shot, which was spilled by the goalkeeper to Morrison who was on hand to kiss delight-fully the ball into the net.

Dramatic escape and a chance to snatch a scrambled win? – alas not this time. Six weeks into the season and still undefeated, the bosses for us would have taken that at the start of the campaign!
