It was a frosty morning for the away fixture against the Wilford Mavericks.
The first half saw both teams working hard and competing fairly. Neither team was able to dominate but arguably Long Eaton was playing the better quality football.
On 16 minutes, Wilford almost took the lead when a powerful shot rebounded back off the far post. Just a minute later, Wilford attacked again and when Long Eaton failed to clear, this time they saw their shot go in off the far post to give them the lead.
As seen before this season, the Long Eaton team responded by stepping up a gear and on 19 minutes equalised when Ben scored with an angled shot from distance.
Half time score 1 v 1. T
he second half saw plenty of effort with neither team able to get the winning goal.
Final Score 1 v 1.
In summary, a clean, fair game which Long Eaton should have won. Both teams created chances which should have resulted in more goals. The Long Eaton team played well in all departments, especially in defense. Both goal keepers did well in the difficult conditions of the goal mouths. The game also saw debuts from the two new Long Eaton players. The support for both teams was tremendous and Long Eaton wishes the Wilford Mavericks all the best for the remainder of the season.
