Llanishen Dons v Marlboro  Eagles

More Concentration Required!

The lads built up a deserved 2 goal lead with two excellent strikes from Niall and Joey within the space of a minute. Unfortunately, lack of concentration in the middle let the Dons back in with 3 efforts before half time. The second half saw the introduction of Jonathan for the first time this season with Declan having to retire injured. The Dons took advantage of the Eagles playing to the crowd instead of the whistle to score again to take a 4-2 lead. After this,  the best part of the game for the Eagles saw two more wonderful goals from Niall and Joey allowing the lads to draw level. Things looked to be going the Eagles way but a few debatable offside decisions saw the Dons take advantage to win 6-4!

Result: Llanishen Dons 6 Marlboro Eagles 4 (Joe 2, Niall 2)
