Eastwood H report

Albion's first draw of the season and their first "clean sheet". The match was competitive and played in a good spirit with very few fouls. The first half was fairly even with both sides having a couple of good chances. Albion's injury list meant manager Eric Gilchrist had to select Gary Duffty to play up front alongside Wael Nazha in the absence of both Danny Toronczak and Dave Dickinson. Cast in this role, Duffty ran his heart out for Albion's cause. Other Albion players to impress were Dominic Riordan and Shane Killock.

The second half again saw both sides creating chances without being able to get the breakthrough needed. If Eastwood had only been able to shoot on target they had several chances which could have won them the match. Albion continued to press forward and put on Michael Reynolds as an extra striker for the last 15 minutes, but to no avail. In the end both sides were happy to take the point from the draw.
