After the game match Andy McGowan explained that pretty much the last thing Phil Kimberley said was "Wouldn't it be great to beat Wythall and show her far we the boys have come this season".

The pre match team talk was all about the teamwork at Leicester and Bournemouth. In the first 15 minutes Wythall launched an assault on Eagles goal but the back line stood up magnificently. As the half wore on Eagles started to make chances with two half chances for Zac and a smart save denying Toby.

In the second half Eagles pressed high up the pitch and started to dominate the loose ball with Pat and Adam closing down space and feeding Josh Smart. Eventually pressure told and Zac and Toby combined to create a half chance and Toby crashed home a shot from the edge of the box.

Wythall continued to battle but Sil, Kyle, Kai, Harry and Reegan denied them space and time on the ball. Eagles created a few more half chances before Zac finally swivelled to finish smartly at the near post to extend Eagles lead.

Adam was replaced by Braveheart Josh Lewis who had tugged a hamstring in the first half. He led by example.

Last but not least the players nomination for man of the match was Hugh "Schmeichel" McGowan who kept only his second clean sheet of the season and dominated the loose ball behind the back line.

Andy ended the team by pointing up to the sky and said "You have just made Phil very happy - he would have loved that"
