Southend's hopes of reaching the National League play-offs continued to fade as Dorking inflicted their seventh consecutive defeat.

Seb Bowerman's 30th-minute strike gave the home side their second successive win as they built on Saturday's victory over Maidenhead with a dominant display.

Bowerman powered home the opener from a James McShane cross, and the visitors managed to summon little in response as the hosts took a narrow lead into the interval.

Shrimpers goalkeeper Collin Andeng-Ndi kept his side in with a chance after pulling off fine second-half saves to deny both Josh Taylor and Bowerman.

But the visitors seldom looked like breaking their losing streak and are six points outside the play-off places after another below-par display.
