Manager Paul MacFarland fielded a near full strength starting eleven with the exception of Jack Havron, Matt Brian. Matt McCaul was able to make the bench after returning from injury.
Southwell City made one change from the team that beat Clay Cross Town last time out.
Eastwood opened the scoring after seven minutes Lewis Bentley laying off Daniel Guild for his fifth goal of the season. Four goals in seven minutes followed and gave Eastwood a five goal lead after half an hour. Steve O'Connell jinxed his way into the box before back heeling it for Dave Worger to smash home. Steve O'Connell opened his scoring account from the penalty spot after Tim Adcock was brought down. An own goal made it 4-0, after a Dave Worger cross was turned into his own goal by Blair Bryant. O'Connell doubled his goal tally with Dave Worger grabbing the assist.
On thirty-eight minutes it was 6-0 Lewis Bentley's diving header was saved but the ball dropped to Dave Worger for a tap in. Two goals in two minutes on the stroke of half time from Lewis Bentley left Eastwood with a very strong half time lead.

With twenty-five minutes left on the clock Mac gave James Hallam and Luke Coxon a run out to see if they could add to the score line.
