We also need to give a massive shoutout to Leafield for the help they gave our Lexie while Nic was dealing with Kelly's injury. Was pure class and shows sometimes it more than just the football on the pitch.

But more on the match itself, it was a hard test on an opening day that saw a frustrating game at times. Although being on top for most of the game and scoring after 14 minutes we couldn't find that second goal. But Lauren Da'Casto's goal gave a great start to the game but Leafield made it difficult although we was on top for most of it but couldn't find that second goal. A few chances came to Daisy Mai Clements with her getting in behind to keep Long Eaton honest but she couldn't beat Leah Kellogg.

But Millie Fugler made sure of the 3 points late on when she delivered a fantastic free kick to make it 2-0 before Lucie Johnstone and Cala Thornton made it 4-0 in the final minutes of the game.

An opening game with 4 goals, 3 points and a clean sheet is a great way to start of the season and John Bennett's team will look to try and start getting a run started with hopefully getting 3 points away to Wem Town. Wem Town didn't play on Sunday as they had the Peterborough United game was postponed. Long Eaton will have to play well and be aware of some of the quality that Wem Town will play with under Lawrence Wilson and with players such as Laura Morris and Emily Ridge. The game will take place at Bulters Sports Ground, SY4 5AR with a 2pm kick off and £5 admission.

All that is left to say is #YouBlues
