Sam Williams scored the only goal as Colchester beat Bournemouth in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
Debutant nets winner
Sam Williams celebrated his debut with the only goal as Colchester beat Bournemouth 1-0 in a competitive encounter at Dean Court to reach the southern area semi-finals of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
Welsh striker Williams, 21, only arrived at Colchester on a month's loan from Aston Villa on Monday, but after 17 minutes he showed some sharp finishing with a first-time shot at the end of a pass from Kem Izzet.
Bournemouth's stand-in goalkeeper Ryan Pryce made an outstanding save to deny Williams earlier and Izzet missed an open goal from three yards after being picked out by a pass from Scott Vernon.
The Cherries improved in the second half with the introduction of former England winger Darren Anderton as a substitute in place of Mark Molesley.
Brett Pitman went closest to equalising in the 62nd minute when a left-foot shot was turned round the post at full stretch by goalkeeper Mark Cousins.
Colchester almost scored another with seven minutes remaining when a Mark Yeates' free-kick from 25 yards hit the outside of a post.
