Great result by a very young Saints side, about time we got our hands on this silverware again, will definitely try to go to Eastleigh away in the semi final.

 

Who knocked the Skates out this season?

 

Havant & Waterlooville smashed their representative side 7-0 back in October.

 

Just hope the nippers make a better fist of it than they did last season against Basingstoke Town (then staring at consecutive relegations 2 leagues below where Eastleigh are now) in the semi finals. We had a "good" U23 team out that night including some lads who have made 1st team outings this season, Vokins springs to mind. We were 2-0 down inside the first 10 minutes! Town had their tails up from the off, we looked like we had won before the game had kicked off and the part timers punished our sloppy play especially from the defenders, who included Klarer. Even as the game went to extra time Saints still looked like the part time team and just needing to be in the Camrose Ground to make the final. About the only player of note for Saints was Will Ferry as he worked his socks off but no one else bothered to join him in his endeavours, only putting in guest appearances.

Just looking it up we haven't won this since 1976 admittedly we had missed entering for a few years more recently - think we only went back in due to the Premier League 2 fixture list was looking a bit thin on games so gave the lads another and very different match day experience.

The other semi final is Moneyfields v AFC Bournemouth so could possibly be an all Premier league Hampshire Cup final, would be pleasing for the Hants FA to have such a prestigious occasion, not sure which neutral venue could cope with such a fixture.
