This was Long Eaton’s first home game of the new season and as always Long Eaton had tremendous support.
Long Eaton started well catching Beeston napping as they opened brightly creating early chances that could easily have brought goals. Euan was unlucky when his snap shot saw the ball hit the underneath of the bar and the goal keeper grabbed.
Beeston started to wake up, urged on by their enthusiastic supporters. Then on 6 minutes Samuel opened the scoring for Long Eaton, showing good ball control in the box before driving into the net. Beeston battled and made it hard for Long Eaton but they could not match the Long Eaton passing moves and on 17 minutes Samuel scored his second after a determined run and finish.
Half time score 2 v 0.
The second half opened with Beeston showing more determination than the first half but it was Long Eaton who scored after only one minute of the restart. Ethan and Euan both chased a ball into the box with Euan poking the ball through the goal keepers legs to make it 3.
Again, urged on by their supporters, Beeston created chances, putting Long Eaton defence under pressure and on 4 minutes got their reward with their first goal. Growing in confidence they continued to make it hard for Long Eaton but Long Eaton always looked dangerous on the break. On 11 minutes Beeston scored their second from a well worked move that could have made for a tense finish but Long Eaton all but finished the game when Owen cracked in an unstoppable shot from distance.
Final Score 4 v 2.
In summary, a good team performance against better opposition than the previous week with tremendous support shown for both teams.
