Next game against Heb Bar;
Tactical move sees Kingston moved into midfield and pays off immediately with goals from Bell and Kingston. 2nd half sees FERRY (yes you read it right, FERRY) clinch the victory banging in the third from a tight angle. Final Score: EASTA 3 Heb Bar 0

Next Game against WESTA.
Plenty of chances for EASTA but just cant put it in the back of the next although Claw pulls of a fine save in last seconds to ensure the draw. Final Score: EASTA 0 WESTA 0

Final group game is against ETA, the holders, hosts and favourites and EASTA need a win to ensure progressing to the Semi finals and ETA need a win to have any hopes of staying in the competition. Tight game, just on stroke of halftime, Gaffer rattles in an unstoppable shot off the underside of the bar to give EASTA the lead. 2nd half is still tight and EASTA are in no hurry to take corners, throw ins etc, ETA are going nuts at this point, but to no avail. Final Score: EASTA 1 ETA 0

EASTA win group as Loony Alba lost to WESTA in their final game.

EASTA play old rivals PERTHSHIRE TA in the semi final.
Gaffer goes off with a hamstring injury early and game plan is gubbed.
Perth playing some good football take lead with a low drive.
EASTA push hard for equaliser but end up getting caught on break, 2-0 PTA.
EASTA are going for it and EASTA's man of the Tournament Leigh Kingston beats about 10 men before drilling in an unstoppable shot from long range.
Too little too late.
EASTA 1 PTA 2

Brilliant Team effort from all the boys, every man played their part.
