How did we not win this game? Apart from the first 15 minutes we utterly dominated, creating enough chances to win about 5 games.
Personally I blame Dan Thompson, he wasn't playing but he should have been - even he could have scored a couple of the chances. I would tell the forwards they were all fired, but we'd probably miss them.
Anyway a 2-2 draw away from home isn't all bad news. We even converted one of our 20 short corners, moving our conversion ratio up to 2%.
Best moment of the game - the opposition right back attempting a jab tackle on Tom Burrows ended up like this:
Except a little more camp. Marvellous.

Gents here is Eastcote views on the game.
So what factual events are there to comment on? Well not many really, so I’ll just make them up again. We were in the game for the first 20 minutes, then Tring got into a rhythm, and were a well drilled side. They had fifty trillion shorts that they should have converted but luckily didn’t. Overall they should probably have won.
Goals came from the Youf contingent, Joe F and Jack. I didn’t see their goals, as I was busy discussing the finer points of Passing to the Opposition with my compatriots in the Defender’s Union. This was a skill we were adroitly demonstrating for a lot of the game. Still it gives the Captain something to complain about whilst mooching about on the goal line! And this ‘Marking’ thing is also highly over rated as well.
Plaudits from the game?

The Highlight of the Game?
Many people are aware of Rugby League’s ‘Man of Steel Award’, inaugurated in 1977, it annually honours the player judged to have made "the biggest impact" in the British game. Well the Eagles have inaugurated their own ‘Balls of Steel Award’ which honours the player judged to have received "the biggest impact" in the game. In this match it went to Ravi, who took a rising shot to the Danglers just inside the D. The noise on impact resembled the snapping of a large oaken bough. Whatever protection he was wearing took the full brunt of the impact. There was even a shocked look on the ashen-faced perpetrator, a young Tring colt. Ravi took a couple of minutes to acclimatise himself to the rearrangement of his family kumquats, and then gamely continued. It was only later that we found out Ravi wasn’t packing any protection. Nice party trick, and great
sound effects Ravi.
