Long Eaton United 0-4 Racing Club Warwick
It was a tricky afternoon when The Racers visited the Family Only Stadium earlier on in the season, when the Blues were beaten by four goals to nil.

The game was goalless at halftime however Warwick scored three goals in eleven minutes between the 48th minute and the 59th, to gain assured control over the game.
The first was scored by James Harding, with Archie Hamp scoring two within four minutes only moments after.
Tyrell Skeen-Hamilton scored a fourth for Racing Club in the 83rd minute.
There is plenty of motivation to go and get three points on Saturday as Long Eaton United look to make it six unbeaten in the league.
COME ON YOU BLUES!
