Hucknall Town boss Andy Ingle was delighted to see his side build on last week's dramatic cup success with a confident 3-0 away win at neighbours Rainworth MW in UCL Division One on Saturday.

Hucknall had fought back from 3-0 down to force penalties and win at Eastwood CFC last week and Ingle said after the win at Rainworth: “Saturday's result was much needed and the lads went into the game in confident mood after the previous Wednesday night's result against Eastwood.

“Maintaining a good tempo of play was the focus, more importantly to finish the chances created.

“Overall, we played good football on the front foot, carved out chances and our finishing was much sharper - and with a clean sheet, that set us up for a good three points.”
