Hucknall make the short journey to Coronation Park to take on local rivals Eastwood CFC a fixture the fans always look forward to.

However they have made a mediocre start to the season with a league record that reads:

The 2 wins have come against Ashby Ivanoe (away 3 1) and Sherwood Colliery (3 2 at Home)

Hucknall will be hoping to continue their good form at Eastwood where they have won the last 2 seasons. Eastwood will be looking to gain ground on the teams above them.

Unfortunately I will be away for this one and also the Heanor game so cheer the lads on for me.
