Nine-man Eastleigh's 4-1 win at ten man Wimborne Town ensured they finished the season as the Wessex league hot shots. Before the last round of games Wimborne led 112-111 but Eastleigh's haul took them to 115 league goals for the season.

Wimborne led at the break through a Darren Powell penalty but an own goal, a Phil Warner solo effort and two goals from Robbie Matthews ensured that the champions ended the season on a high.

Eastleigh equalised on the hour after a speculative cross from David Hughes resulted in an OG and five minutes later former Saint Phil Warner beat four men down the right before firing a left footed strike into the far corner.

But on 70 minutes an off-the-ball clash between Eastleigh's teenage substitute Adam Cook and Wimborne's Guy Dipper resulted in a 20 man melee.

Both midfielder Cook, who had only been on the pitch for a minute, and Dipper were given their marching orders and they were followed by Eastleigh's Stuart Kenna.

Then Matthews took his tally for the season to 45 with two late goals.

After picking up the ball inside his own half, he ran 50 yards before chipping home following a one two.

And a Hughes-led counter attack resulted in a left volley from Matthews.

Manager Paul Doswell said: "The sendings off were harsh, it was handbags stuff but it meant we had to switch to 4-3-1 and try and keep our shape."

Meanwhile, Eastleigh's reserve side clinched the Wessex Combination title with a 3-2 win against Bashley reserves, thanks to two goals from Sherif Khabzi and one from Danny Steer, while the first team were in action, capping a wonderful season for Eastleigh.

Doswell said: "I think it's the first time for about ten years that a club's first team and its reserves have won their leagues but the youth teams have done brilliantly as well.

"We've got two sides playing in the Hampshire under-16 league, one of which is made up of under-15s, and they won their league, while the under 8s won their Meon Valley title."
