Trailing by a couple of goals at the interval after fine finishes from Remy Shiloh and Billy Vigar, the Dragons took the match to their National League visitors.
Eastbourne’s slick movement had put Wick on the back foot but suddenly it was the hosts who were looking the more dangerous side. They were rewarded when James Thurgar was brought down in the Eastbourne area and Josh Irish smacked home the spot-kick to score for the third straight game.
Borough go through to a SSC quarter-final against Hastings and will hope the win kick-starts a better run of form in the league, where they have been struggling for results.
