Eastwood lined up with a new 3-4-3 formation which seemed to work really well. Dylan Miles started in goal with Tom Plummer, Alexander Shayler (C) and Charlie Booth making up the back three. Tremaine Freestone and Leyton Nethercot started out wide with Ochi Fraser and Bayleigh Reid occupying the central midfield positions. The front three were Tizi Maninga, Kieran Knight and Ryan Baguley.

Eastwood started slowly, taking some time to adjust to the new formation however two quick fire goals from Ryan Baguley put the home side in control, a goal a piece for Tremaine Freestone and Leyton Nethercot extended Eastwood advantage. A sloppy goal from West Bridgford a few minutes before half time meant Eastwood went into the break leading 4-1.

Jake Pearson was introduced into the game at the interval playing just in front of the back four.

Eastwood dominated the 2nd half with some great moves, one touch passing and some great team goals.

Tremaine Freestone completed his hatrick, Dylan Miles and Tizi Maninga got on the score sheet. As Eastwood began to look tired West Bridgford pulled a goal back, but the scoring didn't stop there when Tizi Maninga grabbed his 2nd of the game and arguably the best out of the 11 on the night.

Some really good individual performances from the Eastwood lads looking very promising for September 5th.
