WITH A CONVINCING win against the Guelph Gargoyles last weekend, the Toronto Eagles head into round eleven looking to have a strong finish to the season.
The Eagles will face the Central Blues at Humber North and with both teams preparing for the post season, an exceptional game of football is expected.
The Eagles total domination of the Gargoyles last weekend puts them as favorites for this weekends win. The Eagles had a strong showing around the ground from the back line to the forward line and if it wasn't for some inaccurate kicking, the Eagles could have made the final score even more humiliating for Guelph.
The Blues have had an interesting year so far, starting the season in good form. The past month though, they have let some opportunities slip through their fingers, including last weekends 3 point lost to the Wildcats.
Both teams will be looking for the four points to cement their positions on the ladder and prepare their sides for the finals next month.

STRENGTHS
The Eagles look to be back to their hard running ways, dominating the Gargoyles last week with their on field play.
With almost a full list on the park expect the Eagles to come out firing from the first bounce.
POTENTIAL WEAKNESSES
Efficient kicking in front of goal was a major issue last weekend for the Eagles and is an area in which they need to amend.
The Eagles will need to make sure they take advantage of all their opportunities in front of goal if they are to beat teams in the top half of the ladder.
AT THE SELECTION TABLE
As stated earlier, the Eagles have almost a full list to work with this weekend.
DANGERMAN
Frank Luisser: Luisser has been in some great form this second half of the season. He has been a strong option in the Eagles forward line, presenting well and attacking the football hard.
Expect him to continue with his exceptional play and prove to be a handful for the Central Blues back men.
