The first half was a scrappy affair with both teams complaining loudly to the umpires over several issues, and though the strange (through these rose-tinted specs) decisions kept coming, the game played on. The shin-padless IA no 7 capitalised on his light feet and wove through the Tornados defence with stick, ball and feet to slot in the opening goal half way through the first half.
Tornados stuck to their guns and carried on making clever decisions out of defence, and the second half started brightly with some good interplay between Sharoull and Daenan showed the Tornados weren't beaten yet. IA had sporadic attacks including a couple of PCs, but still the defence held. One tight moment with 10 mins to go saw the goalie keep the ball out and Tornados in the game. As the clock ran down, Tornados started putting together some fine, urgent hockey which ended with a fine hit forward collected by Richard Goddard and flicked left to Naveen. Naveen then slotted the ball lovely into the top of the net, bringing the scores equal at 69 mins. The urgency continued but just not enough time to get that second goal.
The beers were again well earned, and Calyton came away with MoM.
Thanks again to the supporters/managers, and we look forward to next weeks game (4:30pm, v Sikhs SC at Sengkang P2, Saturday 25th September, with the Beaz on pitch 1 playing IA at the same time).
