Long Eaton equalised on 26 minutes with a sweet volley into the top left corner from Joe Nyahwema.

Richard Gregory put a shot wide for Halesowen and Reece Mitchell saw one saved as the first half action continued.

What turned out to be the winner came on 53 minutes when Hayward was again the provider,this time for Gregory who expertly turned the defence and hammered home.
