Eastleigh opened their Vanarama National League campaign with a 2-0 win at Maidenhead.

The Spitfires went ahead through an own goal from Maidenhead defender Will De Havilland in the 32nd minute.

Jake Vokins soon doubled the lead when his long range free-kick dropped into the corner of the net.

Maidenhead looked for a way back into the match in the second half, as Kevin Lokko saw his long-range effort saved by Eastleigh goalkeeper Joe McDonnell.

Referee Jamie O’Connor had to be replaced by the fourth official for the closing stages as he was forced off by a calf problem, with Lokko then sending a late header over.
