Capitol Truck A v Marlboro  Eagles 

The Eagles second visit to Trelai this season. This time conditions were very good and both teams didn't disappoint in serving up an excellent competitive game.

The game remained scoreless for most of the first half due to superb Eagle defending with Capitol putting in many attacks. Towards the end of the first half a deep lying Capitol player was allowed to move far too far with the ball and he eventually produced a good shot which beat Will.

The second half saw the Eagles continue with their high level of commitment and they were rewarded with an excellent equaliser from....I think it was Owen...and..... corr he took it well!

The score remained at 1-1 until ten minutes from the end when a lose pass set up a Capitol attack and advantage was duly taken. Unfortunately two more goals were conceded in the next five minutes and the game was lost. An excellent Niall strike towards the end saw the lads bring the score back to 4-2.

The depleted squad today (illness and no-shows) were

William, Declan, Dave, Owen, Ieuan. , Matthew, Matthew 2, Niall, Allessandro, Tyrone,
