Eagley is a village near Boton in Greater Manchester . Also known as Eagley Mills and were the first opponents of Bolton Wanderers in an FA Cup tie which finished 5-5 . Other records indicate Preston North Ends first recorded match was against Eagley .
A narrow cobbled road just off the main A666 leads to an impressive sports ground complex with a large car park . Another narrow road leads to the main club house at the far side of the ground .

An entertaining game in which both sides played with tremendous attitude .
Eagley could have gone top but squandered a two goal lead . Fulwood , stuggling near the bottom , will be the happier of the two teams . Their impressive number nine showed glimpses of ' Ronaldo ' style footwork in tight situations .
He was unfortunate to pick up a booking for contesting a decision not given in his favour . Certainly one to watch and not surprisingly fell victim to a few robust and questionable tackles from Eagley .
Certainly worth a visit - super set up and facilities .
