Official Match Thread - Eagles v Rochdale : Thu Feb 13, 2014 1:12 pm  

First game of the new season and first game back at Owleton - Rochdale Hornets come to town for a 2pm ko on Sunday.

Hopefully we'll start the season off in style in front of a decent crowd. Looking forward to seeing Ford and Hope in a competitive environment to see what they have to offer.

Eagles 46-12 Rochdale

Correct, it's off. If Wednesday can't put a game on at Hillsborough, I think Owlerton would have had no chance
