RUTHLESS RUNCORN Monday 8th February 2010,14:00:00 Runcorn Albion hosted Eagle Sports in the Guardian Cup this week and with a full strength team going into the game, Albion were very much looking forward to the game. Early on in the match things where tight but Albion had the edge, creating the greater chances and having much control of the possession. Eagle where finding it hard to keep onto the ball and where punished for their errors when a good passage of Albion play found Liam Sweeney where he neatly stroked the ball into the net. Into the second half and the only change was that Albion had became more dangerous on the attack. They where rewarded for their good play when a good move down the left found Karl Jenkins who confidently slotted the ball home. Albion where now totally over running Eagle and any chance created was quickly cleaned up by a solid Albion back four. The game was wrapped up half way through the half when Liam Sweeney brought the ball down well to wrong foot the goal keeper with a great finish. Eagle were now playing for pride and things didn't get any better for themselves when Albion ruthlessly punished them again when Karl Jenkins latched onto a great through ball to coolly took the ball around the advancing Eagle goalkeeper. The game was now over but Albion did not let off on a beaten Eagle team and the fifth goal was scored when good persistence from Jeff Enamu created a chance for Tom Southall to place the ball into a empty net after a poor goalkeeping mistake. On the whole it was a great overall performance from Albion completely dominating the game and ruthlessly punishing the Eagle team. The man of the match award was given to midfielder Karl Jenkins after a tireless performance in the heart of the midfield.
