DORCHESTER Town remain top of the Southern League Division One South table after coming from behind to beat Sporting Club Inkberrow 3-1 and extend their remarkable winning league run to 10 matches.

Ethan Taylor struck twice in the second half after stand-in captain Ollie Haste had cancelled out the hosts' opener.

It means the Magpies continued their outstanding run of form with another hard-fought victory on the road.

Glenn Howes was still without injured captain Will Spetch and named an unchained side from the 3-0 win over Melksham earlier in the week.

Inkberrow provided a warning inside the opening two minutes when they went close from a corner, with a header clearing the crossbar.

Dorchester had their first penalty appeal of the afternoon after 15 minutes when Bertrand went down inside the area, but the referee was unmoved.

The hosts then took the lead six minutes later.

Walton did well to turn and release Stanley, who was afforded the time and space to pick his spot and put Inkberrow 1-0 ahead.

Dorchester looked for a response, with Burrows firing over from distance before threatening again with a run down the wing.

His latter effort earned a corner and the Magpies made it count.

Beale's delivery was met by captain Haste, whose header found the net despite goalkeeper Bunn getting a hand to the ball, levelling matters after 33 minutes.

Haste threatened again before half-time, getting his head to another corner, but Bunn recovered after initially spilling the ball as the teams went into the interval level.

Dorchester needed only six minutes of the second half to complete the turnaround.

Beale's through ball released Burrows, who delivered into the penalty area for Taylor to finish and put the Magpies 2-1 ahead.

Taylor almost struck again on the hour when Haste broke forward and found him inside the box, but his attempt was blocked by Brendon Bunn and cleared.

Dorchester continued to create opportunities, while a second penalty appeal, this time for a suspected handball, was waved away with 14 minutes remaining.

Inkberrow refused to go quietly and pushed for a way back into the contest, forcing Hall into a save in the closing stages as Dorchester battled to protect their slender advantage.

But the hosts' efforts to find an equaliser eventually left space for the visitors to exploit.

With the game entering four minutes of added time, Taylor capitalised with the goalkeeper out of position to score his second of the afternoon and put the outcome beyond doubt.

The 3-1 victory secured a 10th consecutive league win for Dorchester and sees the Magpies remain top of the table, completing another successful away trip after they had initially fallen behind.

Inkberrow might of felt their performance deserved more from the afternoon but Dorchester once again batt led hard .
