Ventora Royals. 2
Afc Eastney 1st. 4
Ethan had to start fast to come back from my defeat from last week. I needed to get back on Will in terms again it was a dull drizzly day at Farlington on a very bumpy slope to pitch Eastney started the fastest and then on five minutes Victor ebhodaghe took a shot from about 22 yards out and hit the crossbar
Hey, wearing control for most of the first half and then on 11 mins Eastney scored it was nick obrien who volleyed the ball into the goal after the keeper punched it straight out to him.
Eastney still stayed in control of the game even though Ventura were trying their hardest to get into the game but but Then on 16 minutes, there there was a another goal by top goal scorer victor ebhodaghe who volley the ball straight in to the net assisted by Michael Curran
Venture tried their hardest to get into the game. They did have some play and we’re starting to get some chances then there was a foul about 25 yards out which Ventura took the free kick very well caught Eastney out and on 19 minutes Ventura scored the across was put straight across the penalty area and was not dealt by by the Eastney defence and was put through into the net
They seem to wake easting up and they started fighting again and playing well Replied on 28 minutes went up popped the top goal scoring again Victor ebhodaghe who scored a second goal when the keeper tried to kick it out hit Victor ebhodaghe straighten his chest and rebound it over the keeper into the goal
After all the hard work Eastney was starting to show some tired legs so Ventura made full of advantage of this and then Came at Eastney pretty hard unfortunately one of the tackles led to a free kick on 39 minutes, Dean dolman took the free kick that was awarded just outside the area but unfortunately just went over the bar.
Second half.
Eastney started the second half pretty much as the first half they came out fighting no subs were done as they had a rest at halftime
But then in the sixth minutes 6 minute Eastney was awarded a quarter, which they scored again from this time it was Maurel Inamba who headed the ball into the net that was delivered by Nick O’Brien
pretty much for the next 10 to 15 minutes of the game it was an even game as the tightness in Eastney started to show again so Estney made two substitutions venture were still fighting at this point I seem to get some spirit from somewhere because then on 38 minutes of the second half, Ventura scored a goal from the corner which Eastney did not deal with the rest of this half was pretty even both teams were just trying to keep hold of the ball and play the game out.
Ventura were trying their best to get another goal. Their second goal seem to light them up a bit but then with about 15 minutes to go Eastney decided to do two more changes to strengthen up the team and keep hold of the lead which seemed to work because that’s how the game ended 4-2 to Eastney
Man of the match was hard to pick it was given to Michael Curran

Afc rastney res. 6
Firhill Utd. 1
Eastney ran out comfortable winners in a largely one-sided contest at Farlington this morning.
The visitors kicked off but it was Eastney who made the brighter start, with Ross Adair being unlucky not to open the scoring in the second minute after some good work by Eastney. A minute later the hosts had the ball in the net through Filipe Borges, but the flag was already up for offside.
Eastney continued to pile on the pressure and Michael Ericsson was unfortunate not to score after 4 minutes.
It was all Eastney at this point, with the home side doing everything right except score. Ochoy Hyman became the next player to be unfortunate not to get on the scoresheet, heading just over following a corner.
Eastney's next chance came in the 18th minute, but Ross Adair was fouled in the box before he could convert the opportunity. However, Michael Curran finally broke the deadlock from the resulting spot kick.
Firhill looked to hit back immediately, and soon won a free kick in a good position down their left, but some fine Eastney defending ensured the danger was quickly snuffed out.
Michael Ericsson forced a spectacular save from the firhill 'keeper on 27 minutes, but once again the linesman had flagged for offside, so a goal wouldn't have counted anyway.
The inevitable Eastney second goal arrived in the 31st minute, Harry Giles heading the ball home from Michael Ericsson's corner.
A third Eastney goal four minutes before the interval saw Ross Adair get his name on the scoresheet after being set up by Michael Ericsson to send the hosts in at half time with a 3-0 advantage that belied their dominance over their opponents.
The second half was just 4 minutes old when the combination of Michael Ericsson and Ross Adair once more bore fruit, with the latter grabbing his second of the match, and history repeated itself two minutes later, as Michael Ericsson set up Ross Adair for the youngster to celebrate his recent 18th birthday with a hat-trick.
With the game firmly in their grasp, Eastney made four changes, with Michael Curran, David Louth, Owen Croxford, and Liam Springgay making way for Arthur Grant, Jamie Foster, Kaiden Johnson, and Ben Atkinson.
The changes understandably affected Eastney's rhythm, and the game started to become scrappy, with neither side looking like adding to the goal tally until Firhil grabbed a goal back in the 69th minute.
Any slim Hope's of a comeback for the visitors ended abruptly with 17 minutes remaining when Filipe Borges restored Eastney's five-goal cushion.
The rest of the game seems to be an end to end battle as Eastney tried to their new formation and the way they played
we then bought on Marcus Deakins who is a fringe player and mostly our first aider just to give somebody a rest and put fresh legs on the pitch even though he did miss a good opportunity himself
That’s how the game finished. It was 6-1 to Eastney
