Heanor Town 1-5 Eastwood CFC

On Saturday Eastwood made the short journey to Heanor Town and gained all three points with an impressive second half performance scoring 5 goals.

Heanor opened the scoring inside the first five minutes. Sleigh capitalised on some hesitant defending and shot from the edge of the area which Eastwood's keeper Walker was disappointed not to keep out.

Eastwood responded almost immediately but Kaylum Mitchell near post effort was well saved. On twenty minutes Walker produced a fine save as the Heanor player found himself totally unmarked inside the penalty area with a clear shot at goal. Paddy Webb had Eastwood's clearest chance of the half when getting clear on goal but saw his effort well saved.

Half-Time 1-0

Eastwood started the half well John Whitehurst lobbed effort fell wide of the post. With both sides creating chances it was Eastwood who equalised on fifty-five minutes. Dave Jones finished from close range after good work by Whitehurst. Heanor created several chances but were wasteful in front of goal.

Eastwood made the home side pay on seventy minutes Dave Jones showed great strength to hold off a defender and finished well into the bottom corner. Jones completed his hat-trick on eighty mins after a neat turn and finish inside the area. Eastwood added two more goals on ninety and ninety-four minutes both scored by Kaylum Mitchell with smart finishes with two more assists for Whitehurst.
