Beez vs. SCC A - Beez find their sting!

The Killer Beez faced their 3rd game in 5 days at Sengkang last night. Things looked ominous for the Beez as SCC A turned up en-masse to face only 12 very tired Beez.

SCC started the game strongly and went ahead very early from a PC. The low drag flick had much of its bite taken of it from Garf's stick and it should have been an easy clearance for Harry Houdini on the post but he'd done one of his famous disappearing acts.

To their credit the Beez heads didn't drop and mid way through the 1st half they drew level with a fierce shot (in his words) from Josh, that looked like a tap in to every body else. Only a few minutes later the Beez took the lead for the first time in a game this season. A long ball through the middle found Anton unmarked in the D with his back to the goal. The SCC keeper tried to mount Anton roughly from behind. Although Anton didn't seem  to be complaining about the amorous intentions of the SCC keeper, a stroke was awarded which Anton clinically despatched before asking for the keepers number.

The Beez went into a much deserved and needed break 2-1 but came out sleeping allowing SCC to get a simple back post tap in equaliser after only 5 minutes.

Once again this only spurred on the Tornados team who were in no mood to settle for a draw. With 20 minutes to go the Beez took the lead through a field goal from Nick. The Beez then settled into a counter-attacking game to protect their lead. SCC had most of the remaining play but the few D penetrations they had were dealt with confidently by Garf and his defence. The Beez task was made more difficult losing Wazza to a back injury and temporarily Anton to a hammy/cramp.

Close the end of the game the Beez thought they had made it 4-2 when Nish appeared to score but the umpire ruled that the ball had already crossed the line before any Tornado had touched it.

The Beez ran out 3-2 winners. A fantastic effort from the team who had only managed to save just enough energy to open a few post match Red Rocks.

With games to come against SCC A and B the Beez can still avoid the drop.

Nick was voted MotM for his tireless performance and Nish DotD for wearing a pair of luminous green briefs that have no rightful place in the 21st Century
