Tornados B 0 - 3 NYP : Flat Performance from the Beez

After their monumental effort last week the Beez looked very flat this week against a young NYP team anchored by some experienced heads. Once again availability was a major problem. Despite Rahul and Misso returning early from injury the Beez lined up with only 12 players against an opposition with a full bench.

The Beez dominated the early exchanges but lacked any real punch up front and soon fell 1-0 down after some sloppy marking. This was made 2-0 close to half time when Garf was only able to force a 1 on 1 wide and the NYP forward coolly slotted the ball in off the shoulder of Towers who had made a valiant slide across the goal.

In the second half NYP frequently caught a tiring Beez team on the break but the defence held firm until 10 minutes from the end when NYP scored with a very well worked deflected PC goal.

Tornados did have a few chances to grab a goal back but never really troubled the NYP keeper.

The Beez will be looking for a better performance tomorrow against SCC B
