Eagle RUFC Soars to Victory: A Thrilling Match Recap!

Eagles struggle for numbers at their last game away at Sandbach was a thing of the past! With 20 lads available, including our “ex-el captain” fresh out of excuses and ready to play, Coach Dan Cahill faced a delightful selection headache. After some deliberation, the 18-man squad was named late on Friday evening:

Kieran Thomas
Dan Cahill
Jack Bainczyk
Almer Savilla
Louis Mercer
Louie Angelo
Chris Broadfield
Dan Griffiths
Chris Holden
James Lloyd
Kyle Jones
Jack Gibson
Ian McLearney
Mark Phoenix
Craig Woolvine
Harry Files
Ashley Losh

Match Highlights

Both teams started strong! The first 20 minutes felt more like an arm wrestle than a game of rugby. But then, in spectacular fashion, Ashley Losh swan-dived over the line from just one metre out to open the scoring! What a moment!

The next 40 minutes were all Eagles! We racked up another five unanswered tries! The wind made conversions tricky, but we managed to get two over. The score was 34-0 with just 10 minutes to go!

After some sustained pressure from Aldwinians, our defence finally gave in. They managed to score a converted try, making the final score 34-7 in favour of the Eagles!

Every man on that pitch gave it their all! A special shoutout to Ashley Losh for charging down a ball with his face! Talk about commitment!

Ultimately, Jack Gibson, returning to the club after a spell at “Warrington Select,” was outstanding on the day! He secured the Man of the Match title by a considerable margin!

Final score: 34 - 7 to Eagle!
