Team Tom vs Kipsta Cobras

Recap

Team Tom have burst into life in recent weeks, and despite the jokes they are actually in the hunt for promotion back to the top flight. They would face a massive test of their recent improved form against leaders Kipsta Cobras, who beat them 13-1 a month ago, but they’ve taken 7 points out of 9 since then.

It was the leaders who went in front in the 4th minutes as Kieran Doherty scored the opener for a team that have had a number of close games of late. When they doubled their lead in the 9th minute it looked like they were on their way to a comfortable win to ease them to the brink of the title. Team Tom hit back, and two goals from Matt McNulty in the space of three minutes made it Desmond 9 minutes before the break.

Having gone in level at the break it was Team Tom who started the second half the stronger, and James MacDonald put them in front 4 minutes after the restart. Rob Jordan doubled that lead 5 minutes later, and the game looked done and dusted when McNulty and Sam Collicott added two more to make it 6-2 with 10 minutes remaining. Kipsta did pull one back through Warren Yeo 6 minutes from time, and despite having plenty of chances throughout the piece, the man of the match performance in goal from THE Tom of Team Tom, Tom Hornsby meant that they were able to hold on for a third win in a row. The Toms remain 4th but are now just two points off the second promotion spot. They couldn’t, could they……..?
