Eastleigh win the Hampshire Chronicle Cup
The Hampshire Chronicle Cup took place on Sunday 1st August at the Sparshatts Stadium at Eastleigh between local rivals Eastleigh and Winchester City.
The competition was set up by the Chronicle to support the club’s charity, and the Lisa Wilson Scholarship Fund will benefit directly from the gate receipts and a raffle carried out at half time (figures yet to be disclosed.)
In a highly competitive match Robbie Matthews scored from a first half penalty, but the second half saw a second spot kick saved. Eastleigh had the edge throughout the game which gave both sides a good pre-season run out.
