Barrow 4-0 Eastleigh

-

After the impressive 3-0 win on Tuesday night to beat Torquay, Eastleigh came into today's game in good spirits. Today, however, was a different story as it turned out to be pretty horrific and one to quickly forget as Eastleigh went on to suffer a heavy 4-0 defeat away at the hands of Barrow. 

With BT Sport covering the game on TV, the 46 traveling Spitfires fans had to leave in the ridiculously early hours of the morning for the mid-day kick-off. These loyal supporters must be praised for their efforts and commitment but sadly on the pitch, it was a day to forget for Ronnie Moore's side. 

With both Reda Johnson and James Constable unavailable for Eastleigh, Connor Essam and Ryan Bird came into the starting eleven. 

It was all square at half-time after a goalless first half but the game's dimension changed dramatically for the worse for Eastleigh just three minutes after the restart. 

Ryan Cresswell was penalised for holding back his marker and in doing so conceded a penalty and a red card. 

Eastleigh suffered a double blow as they had to play virtually the whole of the second half with just ten players and to make matters worse they found themselves a goal behind as Byron Harrison converted from the spot. 

Harrison went on to score twice more to complete a hattrick for Barrow with Nick Anderton also on the scoresheet. 

Eastleigh: Ryan Clarke, Joe Partington, Michael Green, Jason Taylor, Connor Essam, Ryan Cresswell, Luke Coulson, Andy Drury, Jamie Cureton (Scott Wilson, 64), Ryan Bird (Mikael Mandron, 64), Jai Reason (David Pipe, 49). Subs (not used) Jake Howells, Ryan Huddart. 

Referee: Karl Evans 

Attendance: 1,795

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
