A  cold wet sunday afternoon, standing watching a football match against California scorpions was the last place anyone wanted to be , especially after how well California played in our previous meeting, But the Eagles players seemed well up for the match and after warming up in a snow storm, they started the match looking the more comfortable team,with an early effort coming close from Mason M after Ben A had headed the ball through to him, this was followed by a low shot from Jordan W , but it didnt take long for California to almost take the lead, only to see Ollie G clear the ball off the line. but it was  California who finally took the lead  on 11 minutes  0-1. Eagles didnt let there heads go down ,and pressured  , which paid off 5 minutes later and Mason M equalised 1-1.  The Eagles were now on the front foot and it didnt take long before Ollie G put the Eagles 2-1 up. California then had two scoring chances both superbly saved by keeper Nicky L .Towards the end of the half Reece W  had a header come close ,but the half ended 2-1. The second half  started, and  again it was the  Eagles who  looked most comfortable , and after a number of chances  from Mason M, Ben A,Tom A,Lukas D and  Jordan W,  the ball fell to Alex S whose shot stopped in the puddle in the goalmouth , but Mason M was quickest to react and scored ,3-1 . Eagles were now playing with confidence , and scored a 4th goal when Jordan W turned and shot low into the corner  of the net,4-1., with the match coming to an end Ollie G hit the bar ,and a great cross from Tom A saw Reece W head in a 5th goal to end the match 5-1. A fantastic team  performance  , from the keeper all of the defenders , midfield  wingers and forwards ,every player played there part, man of the match went to Jordan W and achievement went to Nicky L .
