HUCKNALL AND EASTWOOD HONOURS EVEN

EASTWOOD COMMUNITY FC 1 V HUCKNALL TOWN 1
CMFL SOUTH AT CORONATION PARK
11 JAN 2017 --- 7.45PM

THE SCENE IS SET FOR EASTWOOD COMM V HUCKNALL TOWN

After a quiet but hard working first half the second half was to produce more in the way of entertainment and a goal apiece that keeps both sides title hopes on track.
On an increasingly cold evening there were no worries here with the new 3g pitch installed tonight is just a short coverage of the evening as the blog covered the pitch and previous games at Coronation Park.
A short bus trip to Alfreton before a change for DH Lawrence country over the border in Nottinghamshire saw pre match meal taken with Hill Top Fish Bar for a more than top of the table take away which would have been added with me being able to keep the fish cake on the tray before I had the chance to sample it the blighter had slid off onto the floor.
The first half had been a poor affair in the action stakes but it had been a tough and testing battle full of endeavour many of the hoppers who swelled the crowd of around 200 agreed and thankfully the second half opened up quite a bit.  On 71 minutes Hucknall swept into the lead when Matt Brian smashed home the ball after home keeper Jack Walker had twice pulled off saves in the build up.  Then to restore parity on 77 minutes Eastwood deservedly levelled when Gregg Conn drove in.
Overall a fair result on a cold evening that really settles nothing for these neighbours in the battle at the top of The CMFL South.

LOOKED GOOD BUT I MISSED THE FISH CAKE SLIDING OFF
