Disappointing Loss for the Beez

In their second game of the weekend the Beez were always going to struggle due to a lack of available players. 2 men on the bench compared to 9 on the SCC bench.
The Beez put in a lack lustre performance in the first half with little movement in the midfield and confusion at the back. SCC headed into the half-time break with a well deserved 3-0 lead.

In the second half the Beez turned their game around completely and really competed. Sweeney was a constant source of trouble for SCC but again Tornados lacked the quality of finishing to get themselves back into the game. At the back Garf was kept busy but managed to keep a second half clean sheet. Tornados did manage to get one back through a Penalty Corner rebound from Simmo.

Man of the Match : Sweeney


Beez bag their first Win of the Season

Finally being able to get a decent sized squad to a game the Beez put those numbers to use winning 5-3 over Aetos. Sweeney in his debut game for the club scored an excellent solo goal and that was shortly followed by a big penalty corner hit from Mitch which doubled the score. Despite Tornados dominating the game Aetos managed to pull one back after Deon forgot that he wasn't playing in yellow and set up the opposition for their first goal.
The Beez then dominated early possession in the second half and rushed to a 5-1 lead. Ben scoring with a perfect drag flick into the top left corner and a Penalty stroke after Sweeney had been felled on a mazey run into the Aetos D. Kris completed the scoring with a cheeky touch through his legs.
However, the Beez never do things easily and for the last 15 minutes of the game they gave away possession too easily and allowed Aetos to get back into the game with two late goals.

Man of the Match was Nazza for his strong performance at the back.

Beez falter again

Tornados B team lost their second game of the Division 2 campaign 3-0 to a young C&C side. Tornados can have little complaint about the score from this game, having been outplayed for most of the game.

The Beez now face a weekend double-header against Aetos and SCC that could effectively put an early end to any chance of reaching the playoffs.
