Match Preview

The Eagles travel to Shirebrook Town this weekend looking to extend their winning run to five games.

It has been an impressive start to 2017 for Sean Regan's squad, one they will be aiming to continue against 16th placed Shirebrook Town.

After a run of four consecutive victories the mood and confidence around the club is high, and with Luke Harrop and Chris Lever, both expected to be available there will be difficult decisions to be made for Sean regarding his team selection.

It is a headache he will be happy to have, particularly on the attacking side of the game with top scorer Harrop and an on form Lever both able to cause teams problems, whilst Marcus Edwards continues to make an impact since his return from injury.

The Eagles will also be boosted by the return of Liam Bartle who has re-joined the club this week, a decision that only strengthens the Eccleshill squad.

After a dominant 6-0 display against Worsbrough, Eccleshill has put themselves in a good position in the league, currently sitting 9th place. But with both Glasshoughton and Selby Town only two points behind, it is crucial the Eagles continue their consistent form to not only distance themselves, but to keep the pressure on both Campion and Knaresborough who sit just above.

Both Matty Waller and Charlie Flaherty impressed last weekend, and they will each be looking to do so again, offering attacking options from the flanks, showcasing that there are goals all around the team.

The last time the two sides met it was Shirebrook who came away with all three points after a 2-1 victory, in a game that saw all three goals be scored from penalties.

However, with Eccleshill winning their last three away trips, the squad should have enough momentum behind them to get a positive result.
