02 November 2013

Yannick Hamri scored 4 points on the road to lead the Tornado Luxembourg to a 4-6 victory over Le Havre in Division 3 action. This is the 3rd consecutive loss for Le Havre. Both teams did their best to entertain the 200 spectators that attended the game. Tornado forward Emil Folkesson had to leave the game in the second period after accidentally receiving an opponent's skate into the face.

It was the visiting team who set the tone in the first period. Yannick Hamri scored the first goal of the game for the guests at 8:21. Mickael Richard tallied again for the Tornado Luxembourg at 16:34 after being assisted by Julien Dequidt. At 20:26, Georges Scheier scored another goal for the Tornado Luxembourg. The answer came only 10 seconds later, as Thomas Doudet scored for his team on a feed from Maxime Frebourg. At the end of the first, the score was 0-2, giving the visiting team the lead.

The home team stayed in the game and managed to cut down the deficit, but their opponent found a way to protect the lead. After a 30 minute break due to the severe injury of Emil Folkesson, the home team managed to capitalize from the situation. Félix Frebourg scored another goal for the hosts at 38:53 after being assisted by Antoine Keisser. The score was 2-3 at the end of the second.

The visitors held on to the lead and kept control of the game throughout the third and last period. Félix Frebourg brought his team back to the game by scoring the tying goal. At 50:17, Colm Cannon scored the 4th goal for the Tornado Luxembourg. Eddy Begot brought his team back to the game by scoring the tying goal. Colm Cannon tallied for the guests at 56:48. Yannick Hamri scored another goal for the guests at 59:33 on a pass by Colm Cannon. At the final whistle, the score was 4-6.

Best scorer of the game was Yannick Hamri of the Tornado Luxembourg with 4 points. The performances of some players were standing out, namely Félix Frebourg (3 points) and Antoine Keisser (2 points), as they set personal season-highs. Even though Le Havre lost the game, a positive aspect was that they improved on statistical point of view by the fact that they were scoring more and getting scored on less. On November 9th Le Havre will face Cergy II, whilst for the Tornado Luxembourg, Valenciennes will be next on November 30th.

We wish Emil Folkesson a good recovery and hope that he comes back soon!
