The Eagles’ remarkable 11-game unbeaten run came to an end in the County Cup against top-of-the-table Waltham Cobras, but the scoreline didn’t tell the full story of their effort and spirit.

The opening 20 minutes were fiercely contested, with the Eagles holding their own against a strong Cobras side. Despite being limited to just 11 players and having no substitutes, the boys dug deep, showing real determination and resilience.
Eventually, the lack of fresh legs began to show as the Cobras’ pressure told, but the Eagles continued to fight for every ball and never gave up until the final whistle.

While the 13-0 scoreline was a tough pill to swallow, the commitment and character shown throughout the match epitomised the team’s spirit. This result marks the end of an impressive unbeaten run, but the lessons learned — and the togetherness displayed — will only make the Eagles stronger as they push on for the rest of the season.

Coach’s Message: “The boys gave everything today. It wasn’t our day, but the attitude, effort, and team spirit were outstanding. We’ll reset, refocus, and go again. Go Eagles!”
