Taylor proves worth as Eagles hit form

NEW signing Robert Taylor would appear to have solved the outstanding problem for UL Eagles’ coach Mark Keenan, who watched him contribute 21 points as they beat Bord Gáis Neptune 76-71 to return to the top of the Nivea for Men SuperLeague Southern Conference.

This was a big result for Eagles, who suffered a lean period between the departure of Johnnie Jefferson and the arrival of Taylor, who made an immediate impact in their cup game and followed up with a starring role in yesterday’s win at Neptune Stadium.

“It was great to get the win,” coach Keenan admitted. “We pulled it out of the bag in the last few minutes but we should have been more ahead at half time.
