Joe Keehan’s early effort and Devante Davis’ strike helped seal a spot in round three with a 2-1 victory.

The cup triumph followed Saturday’s league win at Eastbourne Town, keeping up their 100 per cent start in that competition.

“With so many changes made and such a young team, I was pleased we won the game.”

Joe Keehan rifled home to put Shoreham ahead after four minutes.
