Fortunately, unlike Leeds United who went out of the play-offs on aggregate last week, Torpedo were able to turn around their form and post a convincing 5-0 victory this week which lifted us two places in the league.

Coach Rich tinkered with the squad, Donny returning to the starting line up and also prodigal son Lester – his last goals coming for us on 13 March 2007 – but he wasted no time in adding another 2 to his tally and his first MOM. Both Rich’s chipped in with well worked goals and John continued his good form with his second goal in 3 games. I added some choice saves to our solid back line to keep a confidence boosting clean sheet, despite a second half fight back from our opponents.

Watching the game on the sidelines fresh from the treatment room, was Andy, who received his winners medal for last season but must be wondering on this form if he can get back into the team once fully fit?

Good luck to Lester on his stag do this weekend, bring the boys back raring to go next Tuesday!
