Erne Eagles

3 vs 6

East Coast Blaze

The first game of the Bangor tourney was not to prove a good one for the Eagles with a loss to the Blaze. However, Rookie Patrick Leonard got his first ever goal for the Eagles with pinpoint shots from Dorinda foot & Steven Ewen also finding the net.

Lisburn Devils

The second game of the tourney was to be a bit more proud as the Eagles came back from 3 - 1 down to win by 1. Richard Grace scored the first early on, with no scores from the Eagles until late in the game when Steven Ewen put one in with 5 minutes to go. The Eagles were still 1 down with 2 minutes to go when Dorinda Foot hit a crisp pass to Dave Barnes who shot from the point to make it level. Finally, in the last second of the game, yet again, Dorinda Foot passed to Dave Barnes on point, who's shot was deflected passed the netminder by Steven Ewen with the full-time buzzer sounding as the puck was still settling in the back of the net.

Bangor Chiefs

The fourth game was a bit of a black mark on the day as what started off as a tight game ended in fighting. With approximately 4 minutes to go, a fight broke out between Steven Ewen of the Eagles & Mathew Snel of the Chiefs. This quickly escalated as the Bangor Goalie left his net to skate to the half-way line to attack Darren Browne. In the end, the clock was not stopped as the arguements continued and the result finished at 5 - 4 to Bangor, with tournament ejection for Steven Ewen, although many agree that the game was abandoned and the points should have been split. This was a shame, as if the game had continued (for 4 minutes), the Eagles had picked up pace and possibly could have tied or won the game. As it happened the result stands as above and must be respected by all.

Armagh Stars

The final game of the tourney was a disappointing finish for the Eagles with a 5 goal loss. The team was down a man from the Bangor game and the mood of all the players had changed. Aside from the high goal loss, Raymond Browne, Richie Grace & Dave Barnes still managed to get 3 goals into the Armagh net for some consolation in the game.
