 BEC Tero Sasana1 NRFC 2

 In truth, a rather fortuitous win but our 8 game unbeaten run goes on. This team is exceeding everyone’s expectations and shows no signs of letting up.

The first half started with a flourish and a nicely flighted Chivuta free kick led to an early opening goal for the visitors. Tero were passing the ball around well and looked a decent side going forward.

A sending off (a slightly harsh decision I thought – a yellow would have surficed) and a serious injury ending in a substitution seemed to set Swatcats back and a well taken equalizer soon came. Apart from Adido missing a sitter and a thunderous late strike deflected away from goal, the Swatcats offered little with Tero dominating possession.  I suspect that based on this first half performance the Fire Dragons will still be breathing flames in the top tier next season.

At half time the Swatcats were reeling and on the back foot – I think we would have settled for a point at this stage – we were getting our bushy feline tails burnt!!!

The second half began in a similar vein with Tero pressing and the visitors unable to keep possession. Lee tuck was brought on and this coincided with the “men in black” gaining a little more possession.  A well worked Chivuta goal put the visitors ahead and despite some late Tero pressure the Swatcats held on for a very useful 3 points.
