Hawks took the lead through a Taylor Hammon header, but Eastney hit back through Connor Shaw.

The second half saw plenty of effort but no more goals so the game went into extra-time where again it was Hawks who took the lead through Jake Burfoot’s chip.

Again Eastney equalised through Jamie Langley, and it was Eastney who won on penalties.
