Eastleigh FC

A Chris Zebroski hattrick fired Eastleigh to victory in a seven-goal thriller at the Silverlake Stadium. The Spitfires came from behind twice and made it four wins on the bounce. Andy Hessenthaler's side are now unbeaten in eight games. A fitting way to pay tribute to club founder Derik Brooks who sadly passed away this week aged 94.

He didn’t stop running all game.

Eastleigh continued their recent run of good form to come from 2-1 behind to win 3-2. Ayo Obileye scored twice for the Spitfires and Ryan Broom netted on his debut to make it seven games unbeaten for Andy Hessenthaler's side. Here's what the Eastleigh manager had to say reflecting on the win: “I don’t think we played particularly well today, but you’ve got to give Maidstone credit, they’re a good footballing team. “We gave them two goals first half. "For the first one, the ball went out of play, but it doesn’t matter about that. Ayo’s held his hands up, you can’t give a ball back to Rosco (Flitney) like that and you can’t start games like that. “Are we going to get a clean sheet this season? I’m not so sure. “But if we keep winning games 3-2 and 4-3, I’ll take it all day long! “We’re on a bit of a roll now and we’ll take full confidence to play Hartlepool at home on Saturday. “If we keep doing that week in, week out until the end of the season, who knows? “...

Eastleigh secured back-to-back wins with a 2-1 win at Torquay to make it six games unbeaten. Ross Flitney saved a penalty late in the game to help preserve victory after goals from Sam Matthews and Gavin Hoyte for the Spitfires.
