Good Morning Tornados. No outdoor hockey matches last weekend but the ladies entered the indoor tournament and played against Indonesian and Singaporean teams, including the Singapore national team. The ladies played brilliantly with most never having had played indoor before. Our ladies soon picked up the skills and were impressive finishing 3rd. We had no official Goal Keeper but you would not have guessed if you saw Kirsten Fish, Caroline Wheen and Annie Chan in action, they all took turns in goal and were fantastic!      Congratulations to Alex and Jago who had a baby daughter on Saturday morning called Martha Alice This week   Monday Night Fitness 8-9pm  Evans road- All welcome  meet at the grandstand BUT very unlikely to happen based on the view outside my window now   Tuesday  Club Training 8-10 pm EVANS ROAD   Wednesday Mens and Ladies 1st XI  Training 8-10pm EVANS ROAD  Matches  Friday 30th October Mens 1st XI vs Hollandse 8pm Sengkang   Saturday 31st October Ladies 1st XI vs Crescent 3pm Sengkang Mens 3rd XI vs SRC 6pm Sengkang Sunday 1st November  Ladies 1st XI vs Jensenites 4.30pm at Sengkang Mens 3rd XI final placing game time tbc from 4.30pm   Social AGRO Cup 21st November  Boon Lay Hockey Village   Christmas Frolics  12th December  watch this space  Annual General meeting Friday 27th November.

Morning Tornados  I am not sure if I dare say it but, we seem to be coming out of the haze. All games and practices went ahead last week only Monday fitness was affected. The 1st XI men lost both their matches this week to the top two teams SCC and SRC; losing 4-2 and 6-nil respectively, despite the score they were both good games and our team played well. The 3rd XI men lost heavily to Tannebilles who had a squad of 19 to our 11. The ladies 1st XI lost 3-nil to SCC. another great game against a strong 'scoring' team. Min Tze the GK deservedly got man of the match as did Adi for the mens 1st XI game vs SCC.                We had poor availability again this week due to - school holidays, wedding celebrations and boxing prepartions, which were known and planned for. However there were several last minute pull outs(again) leaving the teams playing with a squad of 11 and some carrying injuries. In the heat and humidity of Singapore that is tough.  So, BE KIND TO YOUR TEAM MATES AND TURN UP and make sure your Teamsnap is updated and not changed at the last minute!        Sadly we said good bye to Pete Hill who is off to Malaysia but hopefully will come back and see us soon. However as is the way with Singapore life we are saying hello to more new members: Nanda, Jill and Sarah have joined the ladies and Sean and Scot the mens section       This week   Monday Night Fitness 8-9pm  Evans road- All welcome  meet at the grandstand  Tuesday  Mens 2s, 3s and 4s friendly match vs SCC  8-10 pm EVANS ROAD                Ladies 2's Friendly match vs SCC 7.30-9 DELTA       Wednesday Mens and Ladies 1st XI  Training 8-10pm EVANS ROAD  Matches  Saturday 17th October  Mens 1st XI vs Jensenites 6pm   Mens 4th XI vs Hypernova  4.30pm Sunday 18th October   Ladies 1st XI vs NYP 3pm Mens 3rd XI vs SRC  4.30pm Mens 4th XI playoff TBC 4.30 or 6pm   Social Super Saturday 24th October - Boomerang from 7pm  AGRO Cup 21st November   Christmas Frolics  12th December   Annual General meeting Friday 27th November.

The ladies 1st XI game went ahead on Sunday vs NYP losing 2-1. Our ladies played brilliantly! They really should have won as they had many chances, they dominated the game and played some beautiful hockey. Due to last minute pull outs, the team played with only 11 players vs the opposition's 17.
