U12 Tornadoes v Bellingen 28/4
Hot and sunny conditions greeted the players today, but with an
early start and a pitch that needed mowing it was going to be a matter of
patience
Ball movement was great
at times with the full width of the playing surface being utilised, positional
play was adhered to but we need to work with speed and urgency with our
delivery
4-0 up at half time was
a fair indication of our progress so far this year. We were a tad stifled by a
very competent goal keeper in the second half who pulled off some great saves
to keep the final scoreline at 5-0
Two wins from two starts
is a great result however a top of the table clash beckons this weekend so
we'll need to be really on our game
Keep up the great
teamwork, run and play for each other and the results will flow

never stopped toiling in defense
U12 Tornadoes v Urunga 4/5
First
up a big thank you to all the parents for their help in setting up the pitch
and organising the team card Now that's what's I call a game of football - it
had pretty much everything - end to end play, a very committed opposition and a
deserving result Top of the table clash this morning and we came out of the
blocks playing some solid football The majority of the run of play for the
first half went with the Storm.
Sid
(1) and Tom (2) including a brilliant left foot volley put us well in control
at the half time break - up 3-1 The second half was a different story with the
opposition putting us under pressure time and time again We lost a little shape
and the need to utilise the width of the park - flanks and width win games
Fortunately Jesse in goals pulled of some superb saves to keep us in the lead
Unfortunately the pressure told and we conceded twice to even up the score The
final ten minutes were tense as Urunga applied all the pressure Tom pulled off
the tackle of the match to deny a sure goal with two minutes remaining Take out
of today's match the need for urgency, width and solid passing It's games like
these where we're really going to learn about football and ourselves
MOTM
- Tom Sweeney
A huge
thank you to all our Sponsors
