Winning start for Moore - Johnson caps fine debut with goal


A goal apiece from centre-back pairing Ryan Cresswell and Reda Johnson saw Eastleigh seal a 2-0 home win in Ronnie Moore's first game in charge.

Eastleigh couldn't have asked for much more as Moore and new assistant - Kevin Watson, both took to the dugout at the Silverlake Stadium for the first time.

Two goals, a clean sheet and most importantly, three points - is an excellent way for the new boss to start his reign with the Spitfires.

Ryan Cresswell, captaining the side put the home side 1-0 up from an Adam Dawson corner with the game approaching the hour mark.

With a dominant and commanding defensive display on his debut, Reda Johnson capped off a fine performance to head home from a long throw-in by Michael Green.

Ronnie Moore now takes his side to Bromley on Bank Holiday Monday on the back of this good 2-0 win over Solihull.
