Tornados move top of Division 1

30 August 2010, SINGAPORE |Tornados move to the top of the Singapore Hockey Federation SHF Men's Division 1 table following their fine 2-1 win over defending champions Singapore Recreation Club (SRC).
Despite sitting at the pinnacle of the league, the Tornados know that they still have lots to do if they are to wrest the title they won back in 2008 this term. Singapore Cricket Club (SCC) and C&C United are both undefeated and look truly solid.
The mix of experience and youth has aided SCC's quest for the title this season but newly promoted C&C are the surprise package of the league. The former came back from 2-goals down to beat the league leaders Tornados 3-2 while the youthful look of the latter has injected much needed freshness into the league and more positives are expected from the team coached by Fred Martens.
Meanwhile, last season's finalist Hollandse Club lie a lowly 6th in the table following their shock 2-1 reverse at the hands of C&C United. SRC are a place below them no thanks to alphabetical ranking. However both these sides are expected to bounce back and make headway in the right direction as the league progresses.
Old Rafflesians Association (ORA) and Nanyang Technological University played out an exciting 3-3 draw to help neither side make progress up the table. Nonetheless, ORA are now in 4th spot and that would be somewhere they would like to be at the end of the league.
