The defender’s brace of headed goals saw the Hornets run out 2-1 winners at a rain-lashed Plain Ham.
Harvey Pritchard netted what proved to be a late consolation goal for Larkhall, who saw Sam Bolton sent off midway through the second half.
The draw for the second round of the FA Trophy takes place tomorrow [Monday, October 20].
Up next for Horsham is the small matter of an FA Cup first round proper date with League One Barnsley on Friday [November 3] evening.
