Under 10's Tornadoes Match Report - 25th January 2004 v Ise Lodge Hawks

The Under 10's Tornadoes beat Ise Lodge Hawks 0 - 1.

Having been one of only two teams to take a point from The Eagles in the first half of the season, this game was always going to be close and tense…and so it turned out.

As bright and as sharp as the morning frost that greeted us, so the Tornadoes set to work in a similar manner. Crisp clean passing and lots of good movement mesmerised the Hawks, and this coupled by a solid defence, meant that game was played largely one-way and in one half.

So having had the lions share of the possession and territorial advantage, for all their efforts, the Tornadoes only had one goal to show for all their labours. The goal came early in the first half when from a corner Graeme Wright was on hand to bundle the ball over the line. Thereafter, it was a case of chances created and spurned, however with a defence as stout as a mighty oak, no goals against would be leaked.

A very good all round performance, but the Tornadoes must learn to become ruthless and put the opposition to the sword because against stronger teams opportunities come much less frequently.
