The Cobras regained the lead in the 42nd minute with a good finish, only for Smith to score his second of the game two minutes later when he got on the end of a Brandon Reavey free kick.

Into the second half and the Eagles were very wasteful thanks to some last-ditch tackles and some great saves from the Cobras ‘keeper.

The Cobras were also kept at bay with the Eagles ‘keeper Macauley Booth pulling off a couple of fine saves.

In the 78th minute, Smith went from scorer to provider when his through-ball allowed Will Greenhalgh to charge towards goal and fire home to make it 3-2.

However, just four minutes later it was level again when the Cobras bundled home following a corner.
