I applaud Eastleigh for taking the brave decision to withdraw from the newly created National League Cup. I only wish my own team, Woking FC, had done the same thing. In case you missed it, a new 32-club regionalised midweek competition has been created which will see 16 Premier League U21 teams take on 16 National League teams in a group stage/knockout format. It begins in October and runs through to April with the first round of fixtures including Tottenham, Stoke City and Newcastle United.
