SAINTS are through to the last 16 of the Hampshire FA Senior Cup, but it was curtains tonight for Eastleigh and AFC Totton.

Kelvin Davis’s young Saints side, made up of U18s and U23s, won 2-0 at Sydenhams Premier outfit Christchurch thanks to goals either side of half-time from Will Ferry and Jonathan Afolabi.

Eastleigh sent a mixed squad to Bournemouth’s Vitality Stadium and were well beaten 8-1 by a Cherries side bolstered by Tyrone Mings, Junior Stanislas and Marc Pugh.

Alex Dobre, Pugh and Frank Vincent hit two goals apiece for Bournemouth – Romanian youth international Dobre denied a hat-trick by Ross Flitney’s penalty save.

Fit-again Stanislas and Keelan O’Connell also netted for the Cherries, but Eastleigh youngster Lewis Waterfield crashed in one of the goals of the night from 25 yards.

AFC Totton lost goalkeeper Shane Murphy to a head injury after just ten minutes of their home tie against Horndean.

Defender Dave Allen donned the gloves and picked the ball out of the net four times as the Sydenhams Premier visitors prevailed 4-1.

Robin Nicholls’ bullet header wiped out Harry Jackson’s opener for the Deans, but Mark Smith (2) and Jack Maloney fired the underdogs through.

No such worries for Sholing who blew away Newport IW 7-0.

Dan Mason (now on 14 goals this season) and Lee Wort bagged a brace apiece, backed by singles from Dan Miller, TJ Cuthbertson and Bradley Targett.

Team Solent had pulled off a notable 5-0 Monday night victory over an Aldershot Town XI through Ethan Taylor (2), Hisham Kasimu (2) and Brandon Eaton.

Harry Potter’s magical hat-trick contributed to Romsey Town’s miserable 6-1 exit at US Portsmouth.

Sam Burt’s 28th-minute free-kick clinched Alresford Town a 1-0 FA Vase replay win over Verwood Town. The Magpies are now at home Abingdon United in the first round proper.

Lymington Town warmed up for Saturday’s huge FA Cup tie at home to Torquay with a 1-1 Sydenhams Premier draw at Shaftesbury. Sam House’s first-half goal was wiped out by Sean Colohan in the last minute of normal time.
