Chertsey Town made home advantage count for nothing, controlling the tie against a Sheppey United side who struggled to impose themselves in the final third. The away team's organisation and composure in both boxes proved decisive, with two well-taken goals enough to see off a limited Sheppey attack. Sheppey will rue a lack of cutting edge up front, failing to register a single notable chance across the ninety minutes despite being on home turf. For Chertsey, the clean sheet and cup progression continue a steady run of form, while Sheppey must now regroup and refocus on their league campaign.
