A disappointed Defence Force coach Ross Russell expressed his surprise at how well Dandy Town acquitted themselves against his side in last night’s CFU Club Championship qualifier.Ross said he was impressed by the speed at which Hornets moved the ball around BAA Field and will request a DVD of the game to help him draw up a game plan for next weekend’s crunch second leg in Trinidad.‘I was disappointed with a draw whether we were away from home or not,” said Russell. “A draw is not a bad result away from home but I feel we could have done better.“I was surprised with the speed of (Hornets) actually. They moved the ball around well and gave us a good game. We’re hoping to get a copy of the tape so we can access the game. We can now access (Hornets) as well as we now know what they have. We will go home and do a bit of home work on them.”Despite being away from home, the Trinidadian champions started the tie as heavy favourites but found themselves trailing after 22 minutes when Jamel Swan headed home from a Lashun Dill corner.It was a poor goal to concede from Force’s perspective and Ross admitted he was unhappy with the “ragged” manner in which his team defended during the first half.“I thought our defence looked ragged at the start and we didn’t keep our shape well,” Ross said.Force, a team made up of military men, will renew hostilities with Hornets next Saturday in Trinidad with Ross confident of his side winning the second leg battle on home soil.“We’re always confident at home ... home is home,” he said. “I give (Hornets) credit with the way they played tonight but we’re always confident in front of our home fans.”Hornets coach Jomar Wilkinson hailed his team’s character having given themselves a fighting chance in next weekend’s second leg in the Caribbean.“We showed a lot of character tonight and I’m delighted we’ve come away with a positive result,” he said. “I am very pleased with our performance.“Football’s a funny sport and who knows what can happen down there next weekend.”Wilkinson gave his midfield ‘dogs of war’ Jamel Swan and Jared Peniston a special mention for their workaholic performances in the middle of the park.“(Peniston and Swan) gave us some stability and their work rate was very high,” he added.
