  • LIVE: City 5 (Baldwin 11, 24, Reynolds 15, 18, Birch 31) Long Eaton United 0
  • A RIP-roaring 21-minute spell had this match decided by half-time as City scored a variety of corkers to put Long Eaton to the sword.
  • James Baldwin let fly from 20 yards and found the top corner via a deflection to open the floodgates 11 minutes in.
  • Dave Reynolds made sure on the line after the second of Baldwin's two shots across goal had beaten keeper Scott Low.
  • Reynolds then lashed in from a similar position as Baldwin's opener with a dipping shot that found the top corner but the quality of the strikes was set to grow.
  • Mat Birley and Tyler Weir sliced through United on the right for the latter to tee up a tap-in for Baldwin.
  • Then a ferocious dipping 30-yard blast from Brad Birch marked the fifth just past the half-hour mark.
  • There was little incident from there as City saw out victory and a clean sheet with relative ease.
  • City: Gwynne, Weir, J Smith, Stoddart, Forsyth, Hayward, Birley, Birch, Baldwin, Reynolds, Tomkinson.
