City Brush Aside Badgers. Despite being billed as a close game, Manchester City simply outclassed the Badgers and should have score a lot more if not for the heroics of the Eastwood keeper.

Eastwood Beat Nine-Man Everton. Eastwood continued their fine home season with a laboured win over Everton. The first-half promised much but was ultimately goalless. In the second-half, the Everton team lost their discipline and ended up losing 2 players and the Badgers took full advantage.

Newcastle Hold Out For Draw. Newcastle were lucky to escape from this match with a draw. The Magpies had a player sent off early in the first half and then had to put up the barricades to stop the Eastwood attack. In the end, the Badgers couldn’t get past the defence and an Alex Cairns own goal means the Badgers settled for a point.
Chelsea 2 –
0 Eastwood Town (HT: 1 – 0)
Stjepan Anicic (Chelsea)
Chelsea Ease To Victory. Eastwood never threatened to cause an upset as they went down to Champions League hopefuls Chelsea. The Badgers won’t be too disheartened as they will focus their attention on more winnable games.
