Eastbourne's faint survival hopes were dealt another blow as they were convincingly beaten by Kettering.

Brett Solkhon fired into the bottom corner from 12 yards to put the visitors ahead.

The home side's George Purcell had a penalty saved after being fouled by Luke O'Neill, before Nick McKoy scored from close range to make it 2-0.

Marcus Kelly stroked home from 20 yards to extend the lead before Jamie Taylor tapped in for Eastbourne.
