This was a crucial game for Long Eaton following their defeat to Netherfield the previous week.

Long Eaton kicked off with real confidence and got off to the perfect start when on three minutes, Samuel swung in a corner that Leon volleyed in superbly.

Both teams settled into the match and played some attractive football, the Long Eaton team was passing the ball around quite effectively with Calverton relying heavily on their strong number seven to create their chances and on eight minutes it was their number seven who got their equaliser.

On twelve minutes, following some excellent play, Euan scored a terrific headed goal to make it two one. Eight minutes later, Samuel drove in a powerful shot that took a slight deflection to make it three one.

Half time score 3 v 1.

Both teams came out fired up looking for more goals and it was Samuel who scored his second nine minutes from the restart.

It was always going to be difficult for Calverton to comeback with the Long Eaton team determined to get back to winning ways.

Calverton did get a goal back with twelve minutes to go but was unable to add further goals against a resolute Long Eaton team.

Final Score 4 v 2.

In summary, a good performance and a much needed win for the Long Eaton team and their supporters.

The support for both teams was tremendous and Long Eaton would like to wish Calverton MW all the best for the remainder of the season.
