A solitary strike for debuatant Sam Williams in the 17th minute was enough for the Essex side to claim a Southern Area Semi Final place in this years JP Trophy at Dean Court. This after a slow start by both sides.
Changes at half time, which saw Darren Anderton introduced, meant an improved second half performance from the Cherries, which saw Brett Pitman force a fine save from Cousins in the visitors goal.
