Narrow win over Chertsey sees Eastleigh in to Errea Cup Final

CHERTSEY v EASTLEIGH

SATURDAY 25th JULY 2008
Errea South West Cup - Semi-Final

By Kevin Dixon

Bit of a lack lustre performance for the squad today, still a win is a win as they say!

Whilst not getting near the level of performance against Palace and Torquay, we didn't really look in danger of losing the game against a spirited Chertsey team who could only name two subs.

Line up: Gareth Howells, Aaron Martin, Luke Byles, Ashley Vickers, Tom Bird, Chris Mason , Neil Davies, Peter Adeniyi, Mark Marshall, Arron Milburn, Matt Groves

Subs: (all used during the second half, including Mr. Matthews who came on up front after Neil Davies was stretchered off) - Andy Harris, Jason Matthews, Anthony Riviere, Tom Jordan, Trevor Challis, Tony Taggart, James Baker

'Rivs' came on and smashed in a twenty-yarder to pick up two man of the match awards...

In the other semi-final, Yeovil played Torquay who were invited back in to the competition as Crystal Palace withdrew on Friday night due to "injuries".

Now look forward to the final tomorrow, it has been a long week.

Up date on Neil Davies is that he has turned his ankle and has restricted movement, unlikely to be available for tomorrow, but hopefully ok for next week versus Bournemouth.

Suburban Premier League TEAM: Fred Toomer, Adam Gatcumb, Aaron Blaxall, Aaron Todd, Tom Nicholas (c), Nick Lane, James Powell, Joe Crook, Scott Waters, Ben White, Nick Watt. Subs: Robinson (on for Blaxall 40), Bamba (on for Watt 50), Easton (on for White 70). By Jamie Montigue Match Photos - Here After just two minutes, Eastleigh Reserves found themselves a goal behind. A long ball forward from the visitors was met by a tidy finish with a fine lob over stranded Eastleigh goalkeeper Freddie Toomer and into the net. Ben White headed wide from an Aaron Blaxall left wing cross soon after, before Nick Watt fired narrowly over the cross bar with a good attempt from a free kick 20 yards out, to the left of goal. Tooting & Mitcham really should have been two goals to the good but were left ruing a squandered chance as an unmarked man at the far post headed wide with the goal at his mercy. In the 26th minute Ben White had the ball in
