The EDS drew 3-3 with Chippenham Town Academy Under 23s earlier today. Having had a succession of fine results against Step 5 and Step 3 mens teams it was a young looking Chippenham under 23 side that forced the EDS all the way and fully deserved their draw.
George Kirby put Eastleigh one up when a fine diving save by the keeper saw the ball fly out of the six yard box but Kirby firmly headed it back into the net. After conceding a penalty equaliser, the side found themselves 2-1 down as the pace of the Chippenham centre forward took him clear and he found the net with a neat finish.
Kai Mellor than found himself clear at the other end and he volleyed the ball into the far corner of the net for 2-2. A defensive mistake saw Chippenham in on goal again and despite keeper ROUX Hardcastler forcing the player wide he managed to squeeze the ball home from an acute angle.
Late on Yumo Wan made sure the EDS kept up their unbeaten run after ping pong in the area saw Kaya Tshaka shot blocked and Yumo was on hand to fire home the rebound for 3-3 and a fair final result.

Game finished EDS 6 Team Volta 1. Visitors were better than the scoreline suggests but the EDS youngsters were merciless whenever they broke. Four up at HT with a quieter second period. Goals well spread about with six different scorers.

Last year it started on 8th September, so I would assume it is 7th this year. The actual leagues web site has the constitution and Eastleigh are in same Divisions as last year, National South, D and E.
Interesting to see Eastleigh have two teams in the Hampshire Combination and Development League Under 18 sections. One in U18 Central and one in U18 West. This is a Sunday afternoon league and was born out of an amalgamation of the Wyvern Reserve Combination League and the Hampshire Youth League. It has 3 divisions at Reserve/Development level, similar at Under 23 and same at Under 18. Looks as if Eastleigh will be playing home games at Mountbatten School.

Nothing learnt there. 5 minutes in and it was EDS 3 FFDTV 0, they never improved but stemmed the goals slightly. 6-0 half time and 10-1 at the end. Assume it's very difficult to find decent opposition for friendlies this close to start of season.

Still no fixtures on National League U19 Youth Alliance site, no information from our club yet. The fixtures must be out as Weston-Super-Mare have published theirs. Assuming they start the same date as everyone else it looks as if first games are 14th September.
Hopefully some word on our first games in the three divisions we have sides in sometime this week from our Academy Twitter feed.
Noticed that the teams playing in the Hampshire Combination and Development League U18 section started last Sunday. I think we are playing U16 teams at U18 level. In U18West the score was Bashley 2 Eastleigh 4, but the game in U18Central between Fleetlands and Eastleigh was called off.

Due to the passing of the Queen the National League Under 19 Youth Alliance has postponed all fixtures this week (14th) and will now start league on 21st Sept.
As far as I can see the Eastleigh fixtures on 21st are: 1st Years u17 home to Sutton, 2nd years u18 away to Chatham, 3rd years EDS u19 away to Oxford City.

All started today with EDS u19 away to Oxford City, 2nd years u18 away to Chatham and, only home game, 1st years u17s home to North Leigh at Stoneham Lane 11am.
Trouble though, for me at least, as the only home game was not shown on FA Full Time and the club did not publish the fixture until well after kick off. So missed the game, as was led to believe no home fixtures at all this week.
At present I can see both the EDS (Woking) and 1st years (Corinthian Casuals) are due to be home next week (28th), at present EDS down as at Silverlake and 1st years at Stoneham Lane. Both 2pm. Worth keeping an eye out though as the venue and time often changes nearer the date.
Will update today's scores when posted on FA Full Time.

AFC Totton Youth v Eastleigh Youth 7pm this Weds, FA Youth Cup

Post by nkc on Sept 27, 2022 16:19:31 GMT
Confirming that the FA Youth Cup game at AFC Totton on Wednesday night is a 7pm ko. The FA Youth Cup is an under 18 competition so our side will be made up mainly of our 2nd year scholars. From last year (at u17) I think this group is one of the strongest we have had in recent years.
No EDS u19 game but for those about daytime they could make Wednesday a double header as the 1st year scholars take on Corinthian Casuals at the Stoneham Lane Complex with a 12.30pm kick off.
