1s Suffer in Scorching Heat

The First Team succumbed to a surprise loss today in sweltering conditions at Seng Kang.

Missing 2 key midfielders, and playing against a much younger C&C, the Tornados never managed to get into their stride. As the sun sapped their energy, they were unable to properly employ their, usually formidable, full-court press. They still managed to dominate the first half, yet were caught on the break just 3 times and came in at half time 3-1 down, much against the run of play.

It was not the day to chase a game and, despite the team spirit and commitment holding firm, the heat, combined with inferior fitness, meant that the final result was 5-1.

The League Championship, although not impossible, now seems a struggle. However, the Tornados still look strong to qualify for the knock-out competition.
