Eastleigh 4-4 Bromley

-
Paul McCallum bagged a hattrick for Eastleigh in a rollercoaster 4-4 draw against Bromley at the Silverlake Stadium.

Richard Hill's reaction: “There’s been times when I’ve been accused of not entertaining people, but today we have – both teams.

“It was one of those crazy, crazy games you get two or three times a season.

“But today you’ve seen two teams that need to defend better. Most definitely my team need to defend better.

“We’ve had to score four goals to draw a game of football at home.

“For the first 25 minutes, we probably played as well as we have all season and there were spells in the second half when we played some decent, flowing football, but we can’t defend like that.

“Brett (Williams) has come on and changed the game, but we were always going to face a bit of an onslaught from them and we didn’t handle it well enough, we really didn’t.

“But then give us a bit of credit for fighting back twice.”

EASTLEIGH: Graham Stack, Gavin Hoyte, Sam Wood (Sam Matthews, 82), Danny Hollands, Andrew Boyce, Callum Howe, Cavaghn Miley, Simon Heslop, Paul McCallum (Craig McAllister, 85) , Chris Zebroski, Bradley Hudson-Odoi (Mark Yeates, 70). Subs: James Constable, Harvey Read.

Referee: Sam Allison.

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
