The home side had the chance to go ahead after two minutes but Ryan Worrall’s penalty was saved by new Hemel keeper Jonathan Henly.

However Henly was powerless to stop Elliott Romain turning home two crosses on 12 and 16 minutes to put Eastbourne firmly in the box seat.

Hemel are in home action on Tuesday when they welcome East Thurrock United to Vauxhall Road.
