Eagle 13 Marple 18

EAGLE coach Danny Cahill is confident wins are just around the corner after they just fell short of collecting their first of the season.

Despite tries from Aaron Holliday and Steve Leigh, plus a stand-out display from full-back Keiron Thomas, they fell to their eighth defeat in a row.

The hosts provided a much better scrummaging platform this week, but needless penalties are still proving to be a source of frustration.

"That was by far our best eighty minutes of the season, building on the second half of last week," Cahill said.

"The wins will come if we can put that effort in every week."
