It was Tony Carr's side who struck first. Daniel Kearns slipped the ball inside for Jack Jeffrey to volley home from sixteen yards.
Six minutes later and Jeffrey turned provider slipping the ball inside for Fred Sears to stroke past the helpless Collett.
City were over-run in midfield by an organised East London side and things were made worse when Greg Rioch lost Shaun Jeffers with a head injury.

He replaced Hollist with Keiran Fitzharris at the break to stop the Hammers from attacking down the right flank.
Liam Robinson moved from midfield and filled the role well.

West Ham were not as prolific going forward as they were in the first half. Callum Burgess again marshalled City's defence well allowing the midfield to get the ball forward.
Reis Ashraf had the best of City's chances in the second half. Three times he fired wide and had a last minute back heeler being cleared off the line after Walker had raced into the area and being pulled down for what the referee deemed was a corner rather than a penalty that those assembled felt should have been awarded.
Three minutes before this, Matthew Fry had hit the post but West Ham had already shown their superiority and taken all three points.
