Hampshire Whites were able to watch Leeds United win on local turf for the first time in many years, as the U21s came out on top against a highly rated Bournemouth team.
We only had a couple of days notice regarding the match but messages flew backwards and forwards and we managed to get a fair number of Hampshire Whites there. We were delighted to see other Leeds fans from further afield, as well. We estimate there were about 200 Leeds fans and we are pleased to say we outnumbered the Bournemouth fans. Quite a few of our HW members were in Plymouth for the league game the next day and were unable to attend.
Eastleigh is a good non-league ground and is where most of Hampshire Whites organised transport begins it journey!!
Good to see fans and flags around the grouond.
The Butler family, the Dennis family and the Kneller family (now Lanzarote Whites from their holidays) were there loudly supporting the team and enjoying the fact they didn'thave a 5 hour trip home after the match.
Riley was thrilled when Leeds goalie Harry Christy gave him his shirt. There was some concern that he might get in to trouble but they think he was given a thumbs up from the bench! A big thanks to Harry. it will be framed - unwashed!! Sebastian was pleased to meet Cian Coleman.
The final result was an 2-3 to Leeds - with Leeds laving it very late in the game for Sonny Perkins to score! A fantastic goal as you can see from Daniel's footage below.
