Gainsborough Trinity 1-4 Eastwood Town

What better way is there to spend a bank holiday than to go to the lincolnshire town of Gainsborough to see them take on Eastwood town? hmm. I saw Gainsborough play four times last year and they were poor on all four occasions.(losing 3 and drawing one) Home form was there problem while on the road they had a quite respectable record, a bit like another Lincolnshire side i know quite well.Gainsborough had parted company with there manager in the week and had appointed Brian little (who lost out to Jacko when he got the Lincoln job) for this game ex-imp Adie moses took caretaker charge



Eastwood had won promotion to the blue square north last season and just lost the Notts senior cup to Retford United in the last few seconds and are seen as a club very much on the up and are Nottinghamshires 2nd highest ranked non league football club.
We sampled the pre match delights of the blues club. It is the first time i have ever been in there and was surprised at how full it was,although i suppose there isn't much to do in Gainsborough on a bank holiday.free teamsheets were available.



Gainsbrough have normally had a good number of ex imps on there books due to how close the two places are. Today they had Nathan Peat and Ryan semple in there line up Peat never got a real chance at city while Semple spent to much time on the treatment table to make a impact although did score his only goal for us against Liverpool in a pre season game in 2006-07.
Gainsborough started like a house on fire and so the first twenty minutes or so were all over Eastwood i missed there goal as a was getting some chips, but from what i am told it was a from a low header.After this goal though Gainsborough just went back into there shell and invited Eastwood on to them. a great individual goal brought them level ht 1-1
The second half was a total disaster for Trinity as Eastwood rattled in three goals without reply and in truth it could have been worse ,Brian Little has a hell of a job on his hands. If it wasn't for other clubs having point deductions Gainsborough would be bottom.this win sent Eastwood top of the table




Admission £10
Programme £2 poor effort for the price with lots of adverts and not much to read 4/10
Food- 9/10 you wont find better chips anywhere shame they dont do meat and potaote pis though
Club house 6/10 ok,nothing more nothing less
Ground 8/10 great little set up here
Match quality 7/10 always good to See 5 goals but Gainsborough need to wake up ASAP
