Beez vs. NYP - a Gnat's testicle away from a point!

The Tornados Killer Beez put in their best performance of the season on Sunday night against an NYP team that had run the A team close in their recent encounter.

Despite having some key personnel missing the Beez dominated the first half but rarely made life difficult for the NYP keeper. The Beez were disciplined from back to front and NYP really struggled to find a way through the Beez lines. Nick and Rahul were a constant thorn in the side of the NYP defence but the Beez forwards were unable to get a stick to a number of quality balls that flashed across the NYP D.

In the second half NYP's superior fitness began to show and they threatened the Beez goal on a number of occasions but Al, Nazza and Rego were on fine form to keep them at bay. Unfortunately, mid way through the second half a momentary lack of concentration from the defence allowed the NYP centre forward to sprint into the D unopposed to score a well worked deflected goal.

The rest of the half saw the Beez attacking the NYP D but lacking the clinical edge in front of goal. NYP remained dangerous on the counter.

The game also became quite feisty and Kamikaze Nish was sent for 2 minutes on the naughty chair after a rash challenge that led to a bit of handbags. This clash was marred by racist comments from one of the NYP Players that have no place on a hockey field.

In the last few minutes the Beez lay siege to the NYP D and looked to have snatched a point when Big Jim Wheeler lashed a shot at the NYP goal only to see it hit the upright and rebound across the goal.

A great performance from the Beez who were unlucky not to come away with at least a point.

Next up SCC A on Tuesday night. A game that the Beez have a real chance of winning.
