EASTLEIGH’S Joe Partington has been hit by a three-match suspension, ruling him out of the Spitfires’ big FA Cup third round clash at Brentford on January 7. The Spitfires skipper was sent off for serious foul play in Saturday’s feisty 4-3 National League defeat at Southport which saw three players red-carded. Southport’s Liam Hynes was the first to go for a lunge on Eastleigh ‘s new signing Sam Togwell from Barnet.
