Brandon Town exited the Mummery Cup after incurring a heavy 7-2 defeat at the hands of Sheringham.
However, it was with a severely depleted side, as can often be the case in the early stages of the season.
The visitors took the lead after two minutes when too many Sheringham players were offside for the linesman to pick one and the attack resulted in a goal by Fox, despite a tremendous save by Clements. Sheringham doubled the lead when Fox finished off good work by Bevis.
Brandon got themselves back in to the game after a fine move with Mallett crossing the ball to find Poile who headed past the keeper.
