Marlboro  Eagles  v Splott Albion

Only ten Eagles turned up for Dermot to choose from...which meant he didn't have to choose! No keeper either so up stepped Declan for his fourth appearance between the sticks this season! With a depleted defence it looked like the lads would be up against it all morning. However, the lads displayed a lot of spirit and were unfortunate to be 0-2 down at half time. The second half saw 3 more goals conceded, one with the last kick of the game!

An admirable performance given the circumstances and all of the following should be given every credit for the way they battled
