There will be three Hibs games this week-end, Saturday 12:30 Celtic at ER, Hibs EoS v Leith Athletic at HTC in EoS Qualifying League, Sat' 14:30, and then Sunday, Hibs Under 20's v Ross County at HTC, 2pm in SFA Youth Cup 3rd round.

It will be pushing it a bit to get from ER to East Mains on Saturday but should be able to get there for second-half, the last meeting against Leith Ath at Meadowbank in the Qual' League ended in a 1-1 draw, Hibs are sitting in second place behind Craigroyston in the Section 'C' mini league, we could do with a win in this one.
The Youth Cup game should also be a good match, we beat them 4-2 up there in August in the league.

This will be the U20's/EoS team's 32nd and 33rd games of the season, they have also currently scored 98 goals along the way, should see them a 'ton up' this week-end.

What is the "EoS Qualifying League"? Is it different from the East of Scotland First Divison which is listed on Wikipedia? How many development/ reserve teams do we need?

It's a league cup contested between the 2 EoS leagues. Small leagues of 4 or 5 i think with the top 2 going into a normal knock out format.

The Under 20's play in two leagues, the SPFL Under 20's league and the SFA East of Scotland First Division League, where the play as 'Hibernian EoS'. They also play in two cup competitions, the SFA Youth Cup and the East of Scotland Qualifying League, which is in fact an equivalent of the 'league cup'. There are four sections in the Qualifying League, we are in section C along with Craigroyston, Leith Athletic, Heriot-Watt Uni and Burntisland Shipyard.
