SAINTS will visit their National League neighbours [Eastleigh](http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/district/eastleigh/) in the first match of pre-season, for a 3pm kick-off on Saturday, July 12.
The match will mark the first fixture under the stewardship of new boss Will Still, who signed a three-year contract at St Mary's last month.
The manager will be in the dugout for the first time to pre-season schedule against the Spitfires, who last finished 13th in the National League.
It is the second successive season in which Saints have faced Eastleigh, after winning 7-1 in front of a crowd nearly 5000-strong in July last year.
Adam Armstrong scored twice as Will Smallbone, Sekou Mara, Ryan Manning, Yuki Sugawara and Charly Alcaraz got in on the act.
A second-half strike from Scott Quigley gave the home fans something to cheer about, in a one-sided affair between teams four tiers apart.
Saints are already facing Brighton at St Mary’s on Saturday, August 2 (3pm), with ticket details for both fixtures to follow in due course.
