Cursons' 47th minute effort settled a tight encounter between the Pilgrims and their visitors, which had been deadlocked at half-time following a cagey first half.

The Pilgrims were good value for their win, with home keeper Andrew Wogan only forced into one save of note to deny Lewis Simper in the second half.
