Northern Storm VS Sawtell
This was a
game our lads needed to win. And what a performance they put in today. The
Korora Cove always brings out the best days of footy for the season and it
didn’t disappoint today. We had a very good supporter base it’s great to see
the crowds getting bigger each week. A fast and well executed first half by the
storm seen our first goal scored by Paul Malith in the 18th minute
with some great foot work. The Storm were all over Sawtell however in the 43rd
minute Sawtell equalised with a good goal from Matt Whorlen making the score
one all at half time.
The second
half started just like the first with Korora playing very good. Midway through
the second half we started to lose structure and Sawtell were coming back. The
Storm back line was up to the challenge repelling Sawtell on numerous occasions
well done boys. In the39th minute Savador Wamara scored a fantastic goal his
excitement was something to see the shirt came off he was jumping for joy until
he got a yellow card from the referee for removing his shirt. Don’t be
disappointed Salvador it’s something you have learnt today.
Final score
was 2 to 1 the Storm wining a close game. I believe Sawtell expected to win
this game due to beating the storm twice in the pre season trial games however
playing for points is what it’s all about and the Storm today were the better
team well done boys. Our man of the match this week is Scott Tarlinton. Some
info on Scotty he came to us from Orara this year not knowing any body and
asked if he could play for the storm. We gladly took him in the team and he has
made the Storm his home he comes to training all the time and puts a 100%
effort in when playing Scotty is a real Storm trooper well done buddy. Have some
people to thank this week Craig Caruana. For the great help setting up of the
ground. Robyn Scully for helping my wife Wendy in the canteen great job ladies.
Mitchel Weeden for his help every week. And the over 35 players for helping to
pack up after the games. Who could forget Widdow . The bbq king the best cook
in coffs.
