FC
Cobaltslautern's 4th game would be against the
hitherto unbeaten East Compton Eagles. On paper
this was a bottom versus top of the table clash
and most neutrals would probably expect this
to be a comfortable win for the Eagles especially
as FC Cobaltslautern had slipped to 9-2 and
7-1 defeats in their last games.
The
CSF are anything but predictable though. The
2011 Mallorca Tournament is a perfect example
when they lost their opening games 2-0 and 4-0
and 3-1 down at half-time to eventual winners
Policia Mallorca. On that occasion they stormed
back to win 4-3, won their next game 3-2 before
then losing to the bottom team 9-2. The CSF
(FC Cobaltslautern) suddenly found their form
and were proving a tough nut to crack for the
East Compton Eagles and the teams went into
half-time level at 1-1 thanks to Thomas Mottram's
first of the day and another goal for the Eagle's
Sean McCullough.
The
second half remained just as tight but in the
end the Eagles just had enough as they ran out
narrow 2-1 victors with a second of the game
for McCullough. It was a spirited and tidy performance
from FC Cobaltslautern but, alas, no cigar.
East
Compton Eagles would be glad to come out of
the game with all three points and go back ahead
of GBS Reds in the race to finish in the top
two and thereby qualify for the Cup.
