The continued
their winning run with a win over Generals Blue 1 - 2.
Autumnal leaves tumbled across the windswept Elysian Fields
and the dying rays of an Indian summer palely bathed the theatre
of dreams. Once more the faithful few were drawn by our addiction
to pay homage to our mini marvels.
What footballing feast could we expect to be served with
by our young heroes? Having been served the hors douvre of
the first win of the season the previous week, appetites were
high, but a stern test lay before them in the form of a very
good Generals Blue. Delight – our food and drink for
40 minutes was to be ambrosia and nectar, good enough for
gods, ample for mere mortals.
From the first whistle you could sense the steely determination
through the team – steel forged by Vulcan himself. Tackles
were purposeful, passing incisive and passions high - the
Tornadoes stormed forward in a maelstrom of action, carving
out some excellent chances. But once again it was our Apollo,
Ryan Caller, who broke the deadlock muscling his way past
bemused defenders to arrow a shot past the advancing keeper.
William Morrison commanding in the centre of midfield dictated
the game, nullifying the threat of the dangerous Generals
midfield whilst inspiring his willing cohorts Ross Munro and
Cameron Glynn ever forwards.
However the next goal scored came from the Generals –
a rare lapse in defensive responsibilities and missed tackles
allowed the opposition to equalise. Commitment redoubled the
Tornadoes resolved to prove their supremacy. A move springing
from the depths of defense released Ryan Caller who once again
showed his steady aim to fire home 2-1 and rightly so.
The second half was more equal as squad changes and tired
legs unsteadied the ship. Defense became more prominent but
our defensive trio Of Liam Carter, Mathew Hansord and Glenn
Sorrell marshalled by our goal guardian Jordon Mahon defended
their goal as Cerberus would the gates of Hades – they
would not pass unless to enter the next world!
Ryan Wright and Graeme Wright threw their weight into the
fray and worked unselfishly for the cause, but the fates were
such that no further goals would be scored. A season’s
best performance underlined the teams potential – aim
for the stars and you can sometimes touch them?
