Tring Tornadoes Falcons U13s had a high-flying 4-1 win at Explorers FC, a club situated alongside Heathrow runway.

Captain Riely Churchill got his boys off to a fine start with some good spells of possession football.

Harry Peterson opened the scoring for Tring inside the first five minutes from a Lewis Whicker corner and moments later Peterson made it 2-0, beating the home goalie to the ball before slotting home.

Tring struck again before half-time when Dan Peterlechner opened up the Explorers’ defence before smashing it into the net.

But Tring managed to reclaim their three-goal advantage when Alex Bailey slid the ball confidently past the home keeper.

Tring are now top of the league with a six-point lead over Bedgrove Dynamos.
