Brian Rawlings and David Murphy fired Dorchester into a two-goal lead, only for Wheatley to take charge with strikes from Shaun Pearce, Luke Cuff and Jay Hill. But Mark Denslow levelled before Palmer snatched the points, while Wheatley’s cause wasn’t helped by James Luckett being sent off after receiving two yellow cards.

An Andrew Pepperell-Gray strike was sandwiched in between Strong’s double, before Ben Podd pulled one back.
