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.

A long ball forward from the visitors was met by a tidy finish with a fine lob over stranded Eastleigh goalkeeper Freddie Toomer and into the net. Ben White headed wide from an Aaron Blaxall left wing cross soon after, before Nick Watt fired narrowly over the cross bar with a good attempt from a free kick 20 yards out, to the left of goal. Tooting & Mitcham really should have been two goals to the good but were left ruing a squandered chance as an unmarked man at the far post headed wide with the goal at his mercy. In the 26th minute Ben White had the ball in
