Next up, for our first team was up against Leeds PFC Centurions in a friendly. The first half saw Leeds dominate predominately as Electric Eels were getting used to a new formation. Last remaining five minutes of the first half, saw Lee rotate the players bringing Kai onto the pitch for Emma.

Half-time saw Lee Brennan address his players an area to capitalise, players motivated each other to grow into confidence. The second half saw Electric Eels be more settled and grow into the game.
