Under 10s Utd

Long Eaton U-10's were readying themselves for the big deciding clash at West Bridgford when the shock news came through.

Lets be brutally honest, this was the most eagerley awaited fixture of the season.

With many a mind on what the Easter Bunny might bring, Long eaton minds were firmly fixed on the last but two fixtures of what has been a tremendous season.

The rain teamed down this Saturday as the Long Eaton squad arrived at Grange Park for their last but fifth fixture of the season.

It was not lost on anybody that Carlton were without a game again today, and that meant a chance for Long eaton to tighten their squeeze on the top spot.

A terribly sad bereavement was in Long eaton's thoughts during this weeks build up.

Moor green were the visitors to a frost bitten Grange park this week, and whether or not the game would go ahead was very much in the balance as players and fans began to descend on the hallowed turf.

Long Eaton were looking forward to their second trip over the Erewash in as many weeks.

After a two week break from competitve football, Long Eaton played host to third place Attenborough this Saturday. It was a much awaited tie, a top of the table clash, second plays third.

The blues had an impromptu visit to the Notts County academy last Sunday, and despite a heavy scoreline, all those in attendance concurred that Long eaton had held their own.
