However, the second half witnessed a dominant display from the Eagles unit who recorded two unanswered goals in the space of 14 minutes.
Eagles retook the lead as Adelph tallied his double, finding the back of the net once more with a well-placed shot into the far corner in the 52nd minute.
The result was then sealed when Joel Stephenson made his presence felt etching his name on the scorer’s sheet in the 65th minute.
The second half conversions effectively sealed the contest, earning the Stewartville based outfit a place in the event as the region’s lone representative.
