Little Common end perfect week with win at East Preston

Lewis Hole opened the scoring for Little Common at East Preston

Little Common made it back-to-back 3-1 victories and six points in a week with a hard working win at East Preston on Saturday.

Common were far from at their best but that will be of no concern to manager Russell Eldridge who continues to get the best out of his depleted squad. Adam Smith and Nick Richardson came into the starting XI to replace Ryan Alexander and Will Brown as Common made a slow start on what has been a less than happy hunting ground in recent seasons.

Despite yet to taste victory in the league, the hosts started brightly and it was the Common defence which had to deal with the early pressure. Matt Cruttwell was forced into two saves, tipping one effort over the bar before pushing another around the post. Common only had one notable effort of their own when Lewis Hole saw an effort bobble in front of the home keeper and Matt MacLean was unable to hook in the rebound.
