Eagles lined up in a confident mood after intensive training sessions seemed to eradicate fundamental errors on the pitch. However this was not be the case as tea-bags raced into a two goal lead inside the first five minutes. Stunned by this disastrous start Eagles slowly began to settle and chances were made with Halley going close with a blistering strike and Pryde fully testing the keeper with a shot from just outside the box. Failure to take these chances was crucial as the Eagles lost there way and conceded another two goals before half-time.
In the second-half Eagles made a few changes where Marshall and Martin were introduced to the action. However a fifth goal was lost before Martin pulled a goal back when a Halley strike was spilled by the keeper to slot home. With the Eagles now chasing the game holes appeared in defence where another two goals were shipped before full time.
