Here is the Long Eaton United match preview of the game against the Boro' tomorrow evening. There will be noon pitch inspection to determine if the game will go ahead following the recent bad weather conditions.
League Cup 3rd Round Tuesday 12th March 7:45pm KO
All eyes turn to the League Cup this Tuesday (12th March) when United take on Scarborough Athletic in the 3rd Round for a place in this seasons quarter-finals.
The end of the season is fast approaching and Scarborough are absolutely flying at the moment and are looking good for promotion.
They have added to their midfield recently signing former Birmingham city, Charlton and Hull City player Bryan Hughes who made his debut in the 2-1 win over Pickering Town at the weekend. Tony Hackworth scoring the winner 12 minutes from time.
Its not clear who will start for Boro on Tuesday as they are very much focused on getting to the Evo-Stick League next season and with local rivals Bridlington having a shock 1-0 reverse at Tadcaster the baton has been handed to their tenants who lie one point behind leaders Brighouse but with a game in hand.
Bridlington have a chance to reduce the gap to 4 points on Scarborough when they travel to North Notts and to relegation threatened Arnold Town.
At the weekend in our 4-3 defeat at Worksop a milestone was passed, Shaun Rickford and Matt Savage now have 40 goals between them and the signs are looking very promising for next season if they continue in this great form, on most occasions this season, if one scores the other does as well!
Having gone down to 10 men the Blues showed great character and spirit to battle through eventually losing by the odd goal in 7.
As we look to Tuesday a worry has cropped up this morning (Monday) a dusting of snow has blown in to Long Eaton, temperatures could drop to -8C tonight but hopefully with the cold winds dropping tomorrow and a slightly warmer outlook the game should be ok. Please keep checking the site/twitter for updates as soon as we have them.
Tuesdays winners will take on Thackley in the Quarter Finals away.
