THE Eagles expected a tough, physical contest from their away trip to Deakin Reserve where Shepparton United were hoping home field advantage would result in their opening win of the season.
But it wasn’t to be.
Mansfield were too strong.
What ended in a 17 point victory could realistically have been a wider margin, with Mansfield notching up 15 behinds.
While that perhaps doesn’t sound encouragin...
