Next up for our first team was against Teesside Steel, which saw both sides in the first half defending and attacking well. But, Eels were the side who capitalised, a passing passage of play from Tyler and Harry, saw the winger Harry draw Teesside keeper off the goal-line and attempted to score a goal, seeing Teesside save the ball but, with some contact. This resulted in a penalty being given to Eels, seeing Tyler score at the 12th minute heading into halftime with a 1 - 0 lead.

The second half saw Eels continue to stick to their structure and systems, passing the ball testing Teesside defence, likewise with Steel doing the same.
