A bruising encounter at Farnham Park as the Bulls clashed with a very physical Eagles team.
The Bulls have developed a good habit of starting matches like a rocket and they stunned the visitors with the fastest goal of the season. Straight from the kick off Jureme and Max linked up to create a chance for Ollie. 1-0 in the first minute!
The Eagles were in no mood to give up without a fight. The first half was peppered with crunching tackles, off the ball pushes and heavy challenges, but the Bulls played like champions. By half-time it was 4-0, as Jureme, Ollie and Callum added to the score.
After a brief break to compare bruises, the battle continued throughout the second half. A freak spinning cross midway through the half cost the Bulls their clean sheet (hard luck on Jack who had made some good saves to keep the Eagles out), but two well taken goals from Luke ensured that the Bulls had the better of the second half.
After his late, late goals against Holtspur and Holyport, Max almost rounded off the victory with another last gasp effort, as a half-volley from Jureme's corner thudded against the Eagles bar moments before the final whistle.
The Bulls can play better football than this (and this probably wasn't the most enjoyable game to play in for most of the lads), but the Bulls showed that they can win a physical battle. Callum picked up MOTM for a super captain's performance, ensuring that the Bulls were never outfought.
We have a rest now until after Easter. Hopefully the Bulls will return from their break ready to play their best football, win the league and enjoy every minute of what remains of the season.
Take it easy with the Easter eggs!
