Shepshed v Eagles
0-0
 
Asfordby started well with a move from  Oates to Brown finding Phillips in space on the right with a well struck shot hit the post. Shepshed had their own share of the ball but man of the match keeper Bullimore was on form coming off his line early to deny their chances.
A counter attack from Asfordby found Oates one on one with the keeper but the shot was blazed wide. The first half became stretched towards the end with chances from both sides.
 
Second half saw the Eagles change positions with Brown going up front and Sharp dropping into defence. Chances for Brown soon came with a well delivered corner from Oates but Brown was unable to reach. Carr crossed the ball back only needing a touch from Brown to put it into the net. Phillips created a chance coming from midfield which was deflected up by the keeper, Oates pressured for the ball nearly getting his reward.
A good solid team performance by Asfordby earning a well deserved point.

Asfordby Eagles 4 v 2 Sileby Stallions
 
Asfordby started well with excellent passing through the midfield. Oates and Phillips dominated in the middle keeping possession, pressuring for the ball. Five minutes gone and a break from deep in the Asfordby half caught Sileby with Phillips passing to Bunn for a one two, Phillips crossing for Oates to score a well placed goal. The pressure was kept on by the Eagles and another move from Oates to Sharp to have a shot deflected for Phillips to hit the rebound, Sileby's keeper could not hold and the ball crossed the line for the 2nd. Another attack from Asfordby coming from the midfield found Oates in space for another well taken finish. There was little attacking by Sileby but when they did Mcartney and man of the match Carr dealt with well.
 
Second half saw much of the same from the Eagles giving Sileby no time on the ball. Brown came on for Phillips and made an impact straight away with slotting a through ball to Oates for him to complete his hatrick. Sileby crept back into the game with some pressure of their own. A fine shot was pushed over by keeper Bullimore to give a corner. The corner was taken but not cleared giving Sileby their first of the game. Two minutes to go Asfordby were caught on the counter with three onto two leaving Bullimore with no chance of a save.  A good all round performance by the Eagles.

An attack from Meridian caught Carr out of position and keft Mcartney with two players to deal with but Carr recovered and blocked a good effort from the striker. Asfordby conceded a goal by a lack of concentration from the defence, keeper Bullimore did all he could to keep the ball out but the shot was to powerful. The Eagles quickly replied with a marauding run from man of the match Phillips only to be brought down in the box for a penalty. Captain Oates stepped up struck the ball at the keeper but hitting the rebound, scoring in the bottom corner.
 
Second half and Asfordby carried on with the same determination. The game became stretched with tired legs in the midfield. The action was end to end with Asfordby not scoring their numerous chances. Sharp came on and made an impact linking well with Oates and Phillips but just could not find the back of the net. Meridian took advantage of the tired Eagles and scored another three in quick succession.

Asfordby Eagles 0 v 6 Shepshed Hawks


Asfordby started positive from kick off with an attempt on goal by Sharp and a long range effort from Oates. Early pressure by Shepshed from a corner and the Asfordby defence not clearing quick enough produced an early goal for Shepshed. The Eagles could not get hold of the ball in midfield to play the way they have in previous games. An early cross in from the wing and an excellent header put the away team two in front. Once again Asfordby did not clear their lines putting keeper Bullimore under constant pressure and conceding again just before half time.
 
Second half and The Eagles lifted the tempo. Attacking from the right, Bunn put in a fine cross for Sharp to be denied off the line.

Asfordby Eagles 0 v 4 Meridian FC
 
A tired start for Eagles saw two poor defence clearances for Meridian to score two goals in quick succession. Brown and Oates tried to motivate and played some good football linking up with Sharp but with no goal to show for it.
 
The second half Eagles attacking with pace with Man of the match Brown involved in all the action. Some good saves from Bullimore and two goal line clearances by McCartney kept the scoreline down. The last ten, Carr on for Sharp holding the ball up well passing to Brown who made a run up the left only to shoot wide. More attempts by Oates and Brown were charged down by the Meridian defence.
