FA Cup Draw: Clevedon Town v Eastleigh

-


Having beaten Bognor Regis by two goals to nil at the weekend in the 2nd Qualifying Round of the FA Cup; Eastleigh have an away trip to Clevedon Town to look forward to in the next round of the competition.

Ian Baird’s side will travel to Zamaretto South & West strugglers Clevedon on Saturday 9th October, 3pm kick off.

Some of you may remember that our opponents for this year's FA Cup 3rd Qualifying Round, faced us at the same stage in October 2007. (Match report - here)

An Andy Forbes hat trick and two goals from Damian Scannell saw Baird's side cruise to a 5-0 demolition at the Silverlake Stadium, which meant Eastleigh had reached the 4th Qualifying Round stage for the first time. 

Eastleigh have since gone on to surpass that feat by re-writing history in making it to the 1st Round Proper  last season (2009/10); where they came so close to an upset at Blue Square Premier side AFC Barrow.

EASTLEIGH V NEWPORT COUNTY MONDAY 12th MARCH 2007 Conference South So far so good, as Eastleigh pressed on with their busy schedule with a second comprehensive win in as many days. Yet another classy performance from the Spitfires saw them come out firing on all cylinders finding themselves two goals to the good in the blink of an eye, and just like they did in the Farnborough match at the weekend, they comfortably saw the game out. The only change from the winning side, saw Liam Green replace the injured David Hughes in the centre of midfield. Newport were panicking from the start with the excellent Steve Watts and Jamie Brown letting their presence be felt up the front, giving their opponents no time on the ball. The constant chasing down and pressure from the two Eastleigh forwards almost led to catastrophe in the third minute for Newport, as Stewart Edwards played across his own goal with his keeper missing the ball before it was eventually hacked away.
