Match Preview

The Eagles are back in action as Sean Regan's squad returns to the Mitton Group Stadium on the back of two important away victories in a row.

Momentum is firmly behind Eccleshill United who has now won four consecutive league games and the squad showcased that confidence during last weekends 5-1 victory against East Yorkshire Carnegie.

The Eagles will be aiming to display more of the pass and move football that cut apart Carnegie again this weekend when they take on Swallonest for the first time.

Last weekend's victory highlighted Eccleshill's ability to attack from all over the field, with all five goals being scored by different players. With both Charlie Flaherty and Andy Cooper now back in the squad there are plenty of options for Sean Regan, with Anil Singh also currently in a fine patch of form.

Liam Hudson and Scott Manning proved to be influential last weekend, consistently looking for the overlap runs, with Manning earning a goal and an assist from his attacking displays.

Eccleshill will also be boosted by the addition of new signing, Antony Brown, who has arrived this week from local rivals, Campion. The striker will be another attacking option for Sean Regan and has plenty of experience in the NCEL.

Regan will also have Matt Mathers and Luke Harrop returning to the fold this Saturday, meaning he has a much larger selection of players available to him with only Liam Bartle and Carlton Pownall missing through injury.

Current top goal scorer, Jonny Irving is someone that the Swallonest defenders will be well aware of, with Eccleshill's August Player of the Month causing problems for every team he has faced so far, this season, whether playing out on the wing or just behind the striker.

Swallonest has started their season well and also head into this fixture with plenty of form, undefeated in their last four games having only conceded one goal, making this a tough test for Eccleshill United.

The Eagles currently sit just outside of the Play Off's with several games in hand on the teams above, and with every point counting Eccleshill United are hoping to keep the pressure on those ahead.
