WITHAM Town cruised into the FA Cup second round qualifying with a comfortable 4-0 win at Bowers and Pitsea.
The hosts were also reduced to nine-men as Garry Kimble's men added to their decent start to the season thanks to James Robinson hat-trick.
Witham were on top throughout but did not score until the 25th minute when James Robinson's shot under found its way under Sean Hinton.
Soon after, Town scored a second when James Stevens scored from the penalty spot after Frank Everett pulled down Robinson in the box, which resulted in him being sent off.
Robinson bagged his second of the game when he brilliantly headed in after a good run and cross by Ryan Charles.
The striker then completed his hat-trick when he again shot under Hinton with another well taken goal.
Bowers and Pitsea had a second player, Dan Brown, sent off with the misery compounded when goalkeeper Hinton was taken off injured and replaced by old Witham favourite Jason Baker.
