FCE dominates NASL-leading Scorpions 3 Aug 2014 But, as good as the Eddies were going forward, it needs to be said that the Scorpions created zero scoring chances in the second half. Hassli, outside of the penalty, was shut down by FCE central defender Albert Watson, who passed a late fitness test before deemed being ready to play. Watson wrenched his neck in training on Saturday.

After loss to Atlanta, Eddies still have no NASL points at home 25 May 2014 But, thanks to the brilliance of Ghanaian Kwadwo Poku, some very poor FCE defensive errors and some chances that the Eddies left begging, it was the Silverbacks who ensured that NASL opposition remains perfect at Clarke Stadium this season.

Horace James joins Eddies on trial; Ongaro given another week to prove himself 24 Feb 2014 Coach Colin Miller said trialists are being brought in little by little, as he wants to avoid a “gong show” where all of the hopefuls are on the field at once, which hurts the team’s ability to estimate their worth.

Eddies dominate the Rowdies on the frozen tundra of Clarke Stadium 28 Oct 2013 Crews worked to clear the snow off the artificial pitch in the morning but, by 2 p.m. kickoff, there were patches of ice that could clearly bee seen on the surface.

For the final home game of the season, FCE finally did have a distinct advantage over the opposition.
