Queen Beez win their first point!

On a wet and cool evening at Sengkang the Tornados Ladies B team, having the honour of being the first team to play in the club's new kit, secured their first point in a thrilling end-t0-end game against Indian Association. Fielding a squad of 16 players, including the 3 new local schoolgirls, the B's played some much improved hockey and had a number of chances in the first half including a fine shot from Serena. Ally assisted by Afiqah kept things tight at the back including saving a first half Penalty Stroke.

Rashiqah, the Queen Bee of the Game, playing in her first match for the club scored the opening goal but with 10 minutes to play they found themselves 2-1 down. A late penalty corner saw a wide shot from Rashiqah fall to Sara who placed the ball past the keeper. It took her a couple of seconds to realise the ball had gone in before the celebrations started.

In the last 10 minutes some resolute defending from a series a Penalty Corners kept the score level and the B's were able to celebrate their 2-2 draw. Fantastic performance from the entire team.

Big thanks to supporters who had stayed around after the Ladies A and Men's A team games had been cancelled due to the weather. Also thanks to Sam and TJ for the efficient job they did in getting the new players registered in time for the game.
