Tuesday night's win closed the gap at the top to just six points off Sherwood and Eastwood will be keen to halve that deficit with a win against an Aslockton side that have only won once in their last fifteen matches.
Eastwood are in fantastic form at the moment, after a brilliant performance and win against Pinxton on Tuesday night Eastwood extended their winning run to thirteen games in the league and have only tasted defeat once in their last twenty-one league games (winning twenty). Eastwood have also tighten up at the back keeping five clean sheets out of their last nine.
Aslockton are currently twelve places and fourty-nine points below Eastwood in the table, so on paper it looks like a routine victory however Aslockton have come close in the last couple of months against the likes of Hucknall Town and Sherwood Colliery.
The Opposition:
Aslockton started the CMFL season well winning two of their opening six fixtures which included putting nine past Teversal Reserves. After a few defeats Aslockton then beat AFC Kilburn and got a draw with Blidworth Welfare before going on a run of eleven straight defeats. Aslockton got back to winning ways picking up three points away at Linby Colliery just a couple of weeks ago, however Aslockton haven't won at home since November.
Last Time We Met:
The sides last me back in Januray, Eastwood coming away comfortable winners defeating Aslockton 6-0. A first half Kieran Knight brace got Eastwood underway before goals from Rory Smith, Joe Butler, Rian Charles and an excellent Callum McGarry free-kick completed the rout. The game will be the second meeting of the sides and Eastwood's first visit to Spa Lane.
