Easy win

Saturday 4 February 2023, Moulton 5 Eaton Socon 0 - Spartan South Midlands, Division One, Brunting Road

The hosts scored after just 2 minutes, from a lad making his debut, after that the game was fairly even - the visitors probably having slightly more of the ball.

Second half was a different matter with the hosts adding 4 more goals, Eaton Socon had a player sin binned just before the break but were back to 11 players when they let the next goal in on 58 minutes after a superb bit of skill by the young number 11, a great pass that his teammate finished with a neat lob. The young lad has been approached by a number of clubs higher up the pyramid but he ahs decided to stay with Moulton for this season.

The same player was then taken down for a penalty, Two further goals were added with the last in injury time as Eaton Socon finished with 10 players- no sending off, just an injury and they did not have a full bench of subs!

Deep in the Nest

Saturday 7 April 2018, Lakenheath 1 Eaton Socon 5 - Cambridgeshire Premier League, The Nest

Looks like Lakenheath may be in the Eastern Counties League next season but a hopper recommended that I visited the Nest before they had to improve the ground - and I am glad I did.

Great clubhouse, friendly welcome and even a decent stand - bad point - the home team wear Yellow and Green. But the best feature of the Nest, is the location - at the base of an old chalk pit - lights and another stand plus hard standing will change the ground slightly but the location will still make this a must visit ground for any hopper.
