Eastleigh lost by three goals to nil in their first pre-season friendly of the summer at home to Wycombe Wanderers this evening.

Richard Hill's summer signings Will Evans, Jamie Collins, Yemi Odubade, Ben Strevens and Sam Wilson were all in action for the Spitfires.

3. In the third minute a penalty was awarded to the visitors as Dean Morgan was brought down by Ross Flitney when rounding the Eastleigh goalkeeper, having collected and controlled a pass into his path.

4. DEAN MORGAN stepped up to the mark to fire home the penalty and hand his side an early lead.

9. First sight at goal for Eastleigh as Flitney’s long kick found Odubade who got into the penalty area and drilled a low shot at Matt Ingram.

15. Junior Morais forced a good save out of Flitney who dived to his right to get a hand to the shot. Stewart Lewis created the opportunity.

21. Evans hooked a pass out to Scannell who cut inside from the right flank and sent a cross to the back post. No one was there to capitalise.

24. Junior Morais saw a header from close range go just the wrong side of goal following a cross by Sam Wood.

26. Max Kretschmar controlled the ball on his chest and spun to send a shot over the cross bar for the visitors.

31. Good delivery by Will Evans from an Eastleigh corner, narrowly evaded a touch in the 6-yard box.

40. Morais pass to Cowan-Hall, shot at Flitney comfortably saved.

41. Dean Morgan chipped effort from 20-yards caught by Flitney from just under the cross bar.

43. Great effort by Morais who struck the ball on the volley and forced Flitney into a diving save to keep the effort out.

45. Scannell corner headed over the bar by Strevens.

The visitors lead thanks to an early penalty kick scored by Dean Morgan.

HALF TIME: Eastleigh 0-1 Wycombe Wanderers 

Jack Dovey, Glen Southam, Jai Reason, Craig McAllister and Sam Wilson were all introduced for Eastleigh  at the start of the second half.

Ross Flitney, Dean Beckwith, Damian Scannell, Yemi Odubade and Ben Strevens all made way.

47. MATT SPRING doubled Wycombe's lead just minutes into the half by finding himself through on goal to slip a low shot past Dovey and into the net.

Nice passing move from Eastleigh finished with a tame shot by Jai Reason from a long way out. Southam, Spence, and Wilson all involved.

57. Reason played the ball short to Will Evans from a free kick, who in turn drove a low strike in to the Wycombe wall.

62. Bradley Fountain and trialists Romone Rose and Jack Ross came on for Eastleigh in place of Todd, Smith and Collins.

Fountain played at right back, whilst Rose and Ross played on the right and left wings respectively. These changes saw Michael Green move to centre back along side the versatile Evans who had switched to play in defence at the start of the second half. Dan Spence moved to left back at this point.

Sam Wilson played a pinpoint pass over the top for Reason to run on to before Jai went to ground in the penalty area. Nothing given.

66. Dovey made an excellent save from a header by Jon Paul Pittman. The rebound fell kindly for Kretschmar who put the ball on to the bar from a yard out.

Romone Rose drove the ball dangerously across the face of goal for the Spitfires. Rose put in a couple of decent crosses for the hosts.

82. Wycombe increased their lead with a third goal as JON PAUL PITTMAN prodded home from close range to finish off a low cross from the byline by Jo Kuffour.

85. Jack Ross saw a shot saved by Wycombe's sub goalkeeper.

88. Jai Reason attempted a speculative effort from distance that went just wide of goal.

FULL TIME: Eastleigh 0-3 Wycombe Wanderers

Eastleigh 3-1 Newport County

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...
