Full Time (5-3)

Tormarton come into this game after a well deserved point against Seymour United and a great training session on Monday night. The Tors looked lively and had a few attacks early on. We took an early lead from a corner. Ellis Baker delivered the ball to the back post with perfect weight to find the head of Charlie Ross who did well to lose his man and have an unchallenged header towards goal. 

With the score at 1-0, Andy Long produced a top-save save to deny Lawrence Weston and equaliser. Diving down to his left to push the ball out for a corner. The tors continued attacking and looked more in control. We further added to our lead when Layton Windsor was played in down the right wing, under pressure from the defender drove a low-cross across the box to be met by an onrushing Tyrese Tucker who calmly slotted the ball in the left side of the goal. 

There was more joy to come for Tormarton. After an intricate move, Layton Windsor was played in. He took the ball round the keeper on a one-on-one, going to his right. As he was taking his shot, the defender fouled him. With the ball being cleared of the line, a penalty was awarded. Layton made no mistakes with his second chance and dispatched the ball in to the bottom right corner with a one-step penalty. Tormarton defended well and dominated the first half. 

The second half proved tougher for the boys. Playing uphill against a team that weren't going to give up easily. In the second half it was a much more even game. The tors pushed up the field and multiple shots blocked before the ball bounced up to Tobie who took a touch and finished into the bottom right hand corner to make the score 4-0. 

The tors entered a shaky period we were on the back foot. Lawrence Weston picked up the pace and unleashed a barrage of attacks on our defensive line. The managed to bring the score back to 4-3 and made it an uncomfortable game for the tors. With Layton Windsor pulling up, Ellis Baker stepped up. Going back onto the field upfront. A few minutes after coming on he scored a crucial goal for the Tors at the right time to relieve the pressure that we have been under. Callum Furnival on the left wing, chipped the ball towards Ellis who was at least 25 yards out with his back to goal. Ellis was optimistic and attempted a full right-footed swivel volley. It came off, beating the keeper to nestle in the bottom right-hand corner. A truly brilliant goal to cap off the scoring for the Tors and give us a much needed win.
