PREVIEW | Nottingham Caesars (A)

09 Jun

The Eagles’ next game of the 2016 season takes place this Sunday away to Nottingham Caesars in the Midlands Football Conference.

It is the second meeting between the two sides this season, after the Caesars ran out 26-6 victors at BIAS back in April.

Since then they were edged out 6-0 at home to the Sandwell Steelers, won a thriller against the Birmingham Bulls 37-34 thanks to an interception on the last play of the game, and lost a close one 16-12 to the fast-improving Doncaster Mustangs.

The Eagles meanwhile come into the game looking to snap a three-game losing streak, having also lost 14-0 at home to the Steelers and 13-12 against the Bulls in recent weeks.

Team News

Offensive lineman John Rudgard will be a game time decision after missing the Bulls game with a back injury. Defensive captain Gareth Pullen returns to the squad.

The Eagles have no new injury concerns so will still be without long-term injury victims defensive back Vasco Dias (knee), offensive lineman James Busby (leg) and defensive lineman Anthony Ogunleye (shoulder).
