Glenn Poole scored his first goal for promotion-chasing AFC Wimbledon as they won for the first time in four games.

The home side took the lead when Ricky Willard created a chance for Poole, who slotted into the net from inside the six-yard box.

Eastbourne pushed for an equaliser but the AFC Wimbledon defence reduced them to just a handful of shots.

Top scorer Danny Kedwell secured the points for the home side when he headed in a Derek Duncan cross.

That was Kedwell's 21st goal of the season - 19 of which have now come in the league, making him the Blue Square Premier's sole top marksman.
