Defender Danny Dudley believes it was our fast start that helped spur us to victory on Saturday, writes James Barrett-Sterling.
After 34 minutes we were two-up and playing against 10 men after visiting Shoreham suffered a red card. We eventually ran out 4-1 winners.
And that kept our unbeaten start to the season intact as we've now registered seven points from our first three games.
"We spoke about wanting to come out the blocks fast and the early goal got us off to a perfect start," said Dudley, whose pass it was that set Raheem Sterling-Parker off down the left before the forward saw his low cross turned into his own net by Shoreham winger Jamie Craddock.
"No game is easy, but it was a hot day so we wanted to keep the ball and wear them down early."

Ola Sogbanmu powerfully headed in a corner to double our lead, then Craddock compounded his miserable afternoon by being sent off for violent conduct.
"We like to keep the ball, move it quickly and have some skilful forwards, so naturally opponents will get frustrated against us," added Dudley.
"The guy lost his head and it's cost his team because it made their job more difficult."
We put ourselves out of sight in the second-half via a Jordan Cheadle penalty and player/manager Peter Adeniyi, meaning Evan Archibald's late consolation only robbed us of a rare clean sheet.
"It was disappointing to concede at the end, I thought the guy's boot was dangerously high on Richard but nothing was given," mused the 26-year old centre back.
Dudley travels to his former club on Bank Holiday Monday, but his mind is focused on doing well for us upon his return to Corinthian Casuals.
"I had a good five years at Casuals and, although I'm sure I'll be in for some stick, it'll be nice to see people again," said Dudley.
"But I'm going there as a Carshalton player and I'm looking for us to get another win under our belts."
Corinthian Casuals vs Carshalton Athletic is on Monday 28th August (KO 3pm).
