An early goal from Loughlan got the ball rolling for the Blues, and then from there it was all systems go as Shaw grabbed his first hallway through the first half, with his other two coming just seven minutes apart from each other in the second half.
Brad Munn made zero changes to the side that dismantled Boldmere St Michaels last Saturday.
Lewis King commanded a back line made up of Jayden Cotterill and Gianluca Bucci (centre backs), Owen Betts and Ryan Campbell-Gordon (full backs).
Connor Pace, Shaw and Andrew Wright © were centred in the middle of the team as they made up the team’s midfield.
Loughlan and James Taylor began as the sides wingers with our top goal scorer, Evan Garnett, keeping his position up front.
The game started brightly for Long Eaton United as in the eighth minute, we went ahead through Loughlan after he pounced on a loose ball in the box following a Campbell-Gordon cross.
Coming into the game scoring a hat trick in last week’s game, Shaw continued the scoring touch with his first goal coming in the 21st minute. A brilliant ball into the box matched by a good run in behind the defense saw Shaw head the cross home with no defensive pressure.
Garnett was looking to get in on the action as he had two chances before his departure in the 42nd minute. His first being a shot fly just over the bar, and his second being a goal that was disallowed by an offside call.
We went into the break 2-0 up, but it could have been four as Taylor had a chance go narrowly wide, and Campbell-Gordon let a rocket loose, but in the same fashion as the chance from Taylor, it went just wide.
We were determined to extend our lead as in the 58th minute we almost did. A cross in from Campbell-Gordon found Taylor who hit the bar from close range, with the follow up from Loughlan unfortunately flying over the bar.
However, we were not left frustrated for long as Shaw found his second goal in the 63rd minute. A great turn on the edge of the box from Shaw allowed himself to free up some space to get a shot away. He caught the Loughborough keeper off guard as his strike squeezed into the bottom left corner.
Shaw had found his hat trick in the 70th minute as Loughlan played him through on goal, but he still had work to do. His first shot was initially saved, but the ball fell back to him, and he guided it into an empty net.
Long Eaton United remained in control for the rest of the tie and achieved another clean sheet adding to their five already claimed.
The Blues next fixture is against Corby Town as we welcome them to the Family Only Stadium on February 15, with kick off commencing at 3:00 pm.
