Garswood United 0 Eagle Sports 1

EAGLE Sports gained their first points of the season with a hard fought 1-0 victory at Garswood United on Tuesday.

The game was a tight affair on the first half, with both sides desperate to get their first win of the new campaign. Neither side really had a cleat opportunity as the teams went in level at the break.

The second half was an open half, with both sides looking for the breakthrough and it was the visitors who got it when a Lee Boardman free kick was headed home by Owen Ellis, who claimed his second goal in two games.

Ellis could have doubled the lead soon after, however, his effort agonisingly went over the bar. The home side were looking for an equaliser, with Craig Hall making a goal line clearance and the Eagle defence were strong throughout.

The visitors held on to take a good three points as they looked to kickstart their season.

Team: Clare, R.Bishop, Chinn, C.Hall, Coleman, Waldron, Nixon, C.Bishop, N.Williams, L.Boardman, Ellis Subs: Adideran, Maher, Gallagher, Robinson
