Paul Walsh had his best game of the season with 25 points. 

Oliver Hyland was also back to his best and netted 26 points. 

Head coach Bob Martin said: 'This was a great team effort. Every single player contributed. Eagles are back.'

Eagles have won four out of five following their return to the National League.

They were forced to pull out of the league earlier this year for financial reasons.
