East China sea conflict causes Asia League to post-pone games

The Asia League has post-poned another set of games due to the growing Japan China conflict over a set of uninhabited islands. This weekend the Eagles were to play in China, but the league has postponed the games until the middle of November and end of December. Last week three games against the Cranes were rescheduled until January.

Eagles thrash High1 at home

Oji got two goals from Hashimoto and Takahashi while Cavosi and Saito each had 3 assits. Suh managed to get a couple goals for High1.

Swift was kept off the scoreboard despite making eight shots, but still received two 2-minute minor penalties and a 10-minute misconducta at the end of the game for roughing. Domeki had nine shots for the Eagles but failed to find the back of the net.
