Tornados blowing in the right direction

Haunchwood Tornados v Stratford Town Colts

We welcomed Stratford Town Colts on a beautiful sunny morning where we were fortunate enough to get the game on and the boys were in a vibrant mood.

Tornados were really competitive in the first half against a really strong and capable team, with us hitting the post twice and testing their keeper with a couple of opportunities, unfortunately, we found ourselves behind at the break but still had lots to play for.

Tornados came back after the break but wasn’t quite the same team, Stratfords quality really shone through and they moved the ball around causing us to lose our shape and the game to get away from us.

Sometimes you just have to admire the quality of opposition and applause them for it.

The Coaches POTM was JB, he made some outstanding saves, kept Straftord at bay for long periods and always kept his head up high.

Parents Player was JB and Fish, JB for the same reason as the coaches player. Fish was constant running and battling, he’s really worked on the physical side of his game, so it was great to see.

These boys are a great talent and always want to learn, this was a good lesson and challenge for them and we will bounce back.

Thank you to the ref Ethan, great job for a young ref.
