Eastleigh are through to the semi-final of the Hampshire Senior Cup after a 3-2 win over Romsey Town at the Silverlake Stadium.
The Spitfires opened the scoring through Chris Flood early in the second half after a goalless opening 45 minutes.

Ryan Long hit back for the visitors with an equaliser, before goals from Jamie Brown and Mitchell Nelson (his first for the club) looked to have put the tie out of reach for the visitors at 3-1.

Eastleigh, who played a large part of the second half with ten men having lost Jordace Holder-Spooner to an injury; with three substitutions already used, conceded a second goal deep into injury time when Ryan Long grabbed his and Romsey's second of the night.

HALF TIME: Eastleigh 0-0 Romsey Town

FULL TIME: Eastleigh 3-2 Romsey Town
Romsey Town - 170112

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. Scorer of Eastl...
