Eagle 34 North Manchester 29
DESPITE trailing at half time, Eagle got their South Lancs/Cheshire Division Three North campaign off to the best possible start.
The hosts overcame a 10-point deficit at Thornton Road to record victory in their first game since last year’s relegation.
Man of the match Eddie Masterman and captain Simon Counsell were impressive performers for Eagle, who travel to Bury on Saturday.
