Eastleigh 2 Kidderminster Harriers 1; 17:15pm Saturday April 25th 2015

April 27, 2015 By Paul McNamara Leave a Comment

Eastleigh 2 Kidderminster Harriers 1; 1715pm Saturday April 25th 2015

Needing at least a point from this final day clash with Kidderminster Harriers, Eastleigh had a mixed start before gathering themselves and eventually crossing the line with something to spare.

Exactly the same could be said of the club’s first ever regular season in the Conference Premier, which Richard Hill’s side have finished with five straight wins to secure the division’s fourth spot. [Read more…] about Eastleigh 2 Kidderminster Harriers 1; 17:15pm Saturday April 25th 2015

Eastleigh 1 Barnet 2: 15:00 Saturday March 14th 2015

Eastleigh 1 Barnet 2: 15:00 Saturday March 14th 2015

The formbook was thrown emphatically out of the window at the Silverlake Stadium on Saturday, as Barnet, with one win from four in the run-up to this fixture, edged a competitive encounter with an Eastleigh side that had won its last four games.

It was a result that lifted the Bees, who sealed the three points after the home side could only muster a Ben Strevens penalty in response to goals from Curtis Weston and John Akinde, back to the top of the table. [Read more…] about Eastleigh 1 Barnet 2: 15:00 Saturday March 14th 2015

Eastleigh 4 Macclesfield Town 0: 12:45 Saturday February 28th 2015

Eastleigh 4 Macclesfield Town 0 1245 Saturday February 28th 2015

When Jai Reason left the Silverlake Stadium’s pitch after 80 minutes of Eastleigh’s command performance against Macclesfield Town, the Spitfires’ attacker was feted for a virtuoso display that saw him lend a heavy hand in three of his side’s goals and contribute an absolute beauty of his own.

What’s more, it wasn’t only the 4,126 souls who made up the record attendance at this ground on their feet – Richard Hill was off his seat and applauding enthusiastically with the rest. [Read more…] about Eastleigh 4 Macclesfield Town 0: 12:45 Saturday February 28th 2015

Eastleigh 1 Torquay United 2: 15:00 Sat 14 Feb 2015

Eastleigh 1 Torquay United 2 Saturday 14th Feb 2015 feature

Eastleigh’s grip on sixth spot in the Conference Premier was loosened by a Torquay United side whose comeback victory completed a league double over the Spitfires for the Plainmoor outfit. This is a defeat that will sting for the home team, with the chance being passed up to gain some momentum after their own turnaround triumph on Tuesday night at Southport.

Richard Hill made four changes, here, to the eleven that had started the game on Merseyside four days earlier – Dean Beckwith, as skipper, Craig Stanley, Brian Howard and Deon Burton the men to come in. [Read more…] about Eastleigh 1 Torquay United 2: 15:00 Sat 14 Feb 2015

Eastleigh 3 AFC Telford United 3; Saturday 7th February 2015

February 9, 2015 By Paul McNamara 1 Comment

Eastleigh 3 AFC Telford United 3 Tony Smith

There is plainly something in the chemistry between these two sides that, whenever they collide, ignites a blur of goals, electrifying football, mistakes and unpredictability.

Nevertheless, when a slick, imaginative Spitfires attack paid dividends in rather unconventional fashion just seven minutes into this encounter, few of the 1,219 paying punters [Read more…] about Eastleigh 3 AFC Telford United 3; Saturday 7th February 2015

Eastleigh 4 Lincoln City 0

When, a week ago, Eastleigh’s fruitful festive period was grinding to a halt with defeat by Altrincham and Lincoln City were dishing out a 4-1 thumping to league leaders Barnet, any observers predicting this outcome would have been few and far between.

No matter, the marvellous unpredictability of football and the sheer resilience and quality of this Spitfires team joined forces to produce a result for the home side that will have made the rest of the division sit up and take notice. [Read more…] about Eastleigh 4 Lincoln City 0

Eastleigh 2 Dartford 0

December 3, 2014 By Paul McNamara 4 Comments

Three days after Eastleigh’s seven-match unbeaten run ground to a halt in Torquay, goals from Jack Midson and Michael Green, against a gritty but limited Dartford side, set the Spitfires back on the winning trail.

Paul Reid’s one game suspension meant that Richard Hill had to tinker with his back-four, the hosts’ manager pairing Will Evans and Dean Beckwith in the centre of defence, returning Dan Spence to his accustomed position on the right and handing Jamie Collins left-back duties.

Eastleigh 2 Lincoln City 1: Take Off For The Spitfires

November 10, 2014 By Paul McNamara

Saturday 8th November 2014 was a day in the history of Eastleigh Football Club that Spitfires fans will never forget.

Eastleigh entertained fellow conference side Lincoln City in their first ever home tie in the FA cup.

Before the game, Jai Reason, Eastleigh player of the month for October, was presented with his award by young Eastleigh footballer Josh Hoey. [Read more…] about Eastleigh 2 Lincoln City 1: Take Off For The Spitfires
