Bridgham Utd 2 Yaxham 0
Bridgham progressed to the quarter-finals of the Crown Fire Ben Smith Cup with a superb all round team performance.
They took the lead when Stuart Tucker scored direct from a free- kick from 45 yards out which sailed over the keeper.
Yaxham played their part in a lively game and went close soon after the re start before forcing a great save from keeper Morgan Crane.
But it became 2-0 when Chris Marlow flicked on a throw in and Boon tapped in at the far post.
Some great wing play by Ben Ramos saw his cross fall to Nigel Croome, whose header hit a post.
Bridgham will face Morley Village in the last eight.
MoM: Stand in keeper Morgan Crane who was faultless.
