Marlboro Eagles Football Club
Saturday 8th December 2001
Coed Glas School
Another 3 wins!

Winning seems to have become a habit! A wonderfully sunny December morning at the venue hosted by our Marlboro B friends  saw our heroes sweep all before them again! Blue skies, no wind, just a rather heavy due to contend with! A special day too for Declan and Owen, as today saw them both get on the score sheet and there was much celebration! As always both the Marlboro sides turned up well in time with large squads but we had to wait a little while for Capital Trucks B and Grangetown B to show but eventually everyone was present and correct

Marlboro B put up a fight!

Game 1 was against our Marlboro B friends and a really competitive game it was. The first half saw us take a one nil lead and the game was very tight. Three goals went in quick succession early in the second half and you may have though that the game was over. However the Marlboro B lads rallied well and made a real fight of the last quarter and scored two deserved goals to bring the score back to 4-2. The game finished with our lads really knowing they had been in a game! Well done to both sides on a fine contest.
Game 2 was against Capital Trucks B who tried hard throughout and  scored a well taken goal but our heroes controlled the game from start to finish and scored six excellent goals. This is a testament to the strength of our side rather than the Capital lads shortcomings.
Game 3 was an extremely  one-sided affair with our boys knocking in ten goals. Some disappointing behaviour among the opposition failed to knock our lads out of their stride.  The level of maturity among the lads matches their level of football skill and I for one take great pride in saying this! Well done lads! And well done Mike and Dermot! You must be doing something right!
