Mike Perrott's double fired Team Bath into the First Round Proper of The FA Trophy as his side won 2-1 against Windsor & Eton in the Third Round Qualifying.
Perrott pounced to nod home Takumi Ake's cross after eight minutes and after taking the lead, the hosts looked determined to eclipse their 5-0 scoreline over Burnham in the last round.
But the visitors' stern resistance restricted Bath to a couple of long- range shots as they continued their search for the killer second goal.
It finally arrived 15 minutes from time after Perrott latched on to Marc Canham's ball to chip home from 20 yards. It was a rich reward for the home side who looked in charge throughout.
Steve Butler pulled one back for the visitors to set up a grandstand finale, but Bath held on to claim their £4,000 prize money and a place in the First Round Proper.
Elsewhere, FC United of Manchester's match with Boston United FC was postponed so it was up to Fisher Athletic and Havant & Waterlooville to complete the ties on Sunday. Gary Elphick gave Havant the lead on 58 minutes and Jamie Collins' 74th minute penalty made it 2-0. And despite a late rally from Fisher, the hosts could not find a way back into the match.
