Cambridge eased to their first win of the season over Eastbourne.

Josh Coulson headed them into an early lead from James Jennings' right-wing cross and Jennings made it 2-0 before half-time with a 25-yard free-kick.

The Sports almost pulled a goal back but striker Andy Atkin's header rebounded off the crossbar.

But their keeper Rikki Banks was a busy man and held three long-range efforts from Danny Wright, while he also denied Daryl Clare and Robbie Willmott.
