Rocks are no match for champs as Prior and co show credentials

First half goals by Luke Moore and Elliot Buchanan were enough for the Bostik premier champions to beat Bognor.

Ex-bognor trio Jason Prior, Sami El-abd and David Ray were all in the Dorking squad at Meadowbank.

Moore opened the scoring for Dorking on three minutes when a square pass from Prior found him in space outside the box and he hit it low and hard beyond Dan Lincoln.

As Bognor tried to hit back, Ashton Leigh got a cross in from the left but it was gathered by Slavomir Huk.

Tom Richards was stopped in his tracks by Chad Field before Prior headed a cross straight at the goalkeeper.

Bognor conceded again on 23 minutes. Buchanan ran through following good work from Richards and Sam Beard to tuck the ball beyond Lincoln. Already it looked like a mountain to climb for Bognor.

Mason Walsh tripped over the ball when Doug Tuck fed him in the Dorking box.

Just before the break Brad Lethbridge went to ground and received treatment, but he was taken off on a stretcher and Jimmy Wild replaced him. Lethbridge looked to have a hip or lower back injury to add to Bognor’s growing list of injuries.

After the break Wild’s header flew wide on 58 minutes as Bognor looked for a way back into the match.

Prior went into the book on 72 minutes after his studs were up in a challenge on Richard Gilot.

Joe Tomlinson hit a shot first time and forced the first stop of the game from Huk on 74 minutes. Then Meekums cut into the area but lost the ball then fouled his man and earned a booking.

Lincoln dealt well with a couple of Dorking efforts, then Whyte set up Meekums, who struck the bar.

Rocks: Lincoln, Tomlinson, Leigh (Mccormick 68), Tuck (Scutt 80), Field, Sanders, Whyte, Gilot, Lethbridge (Wild 45), Myles-meekums, Walsh. Sub: Dunn.
