Was this  the result Hucknall Sports U-11 wanted ? as they travelled to high flying  Aslockton Cranmers, whom Sports have not won in their 3 years of meeting.

 Sports got off to the best possible start with solid pressure and commitment which ended with a cracking goal from Lewis Early.  A heavy hale storm interrupted this YEL Division 1 bout briefly. After the stoppage Aslockton came out of the trap faster resulting in a half time score of 2-1 to Cranmers, despite a valiant man of the match effort from defender James Innes.

 

A great second half got underway as Sports searched for that equaliser. Both sides played with venom and guts until a very controversial off side goal gave Aslockton a 3-1 cushion.  This killed an entertaining game but Sports regrouped and gave all, resulting in a fantastic Luke Bowen & James Talbot combined goal which would have been the equaliser. Unfortunately for Sports this was not to be as the scoreline finished at 3-2 to the home side.
