Rutherford restores Dorking lead to beat Eastbourne

Dorking Wanderers won 2–1 at Eastbourne Borough after Alfie Rutherford quickly answered the home team's second-half equaliser. The result followed a draw at Maidstone and returned the Wanderers to winning ways before their next home fixture.

Harry Sidwell opened the scoring in the 25th minute, finishing from close range after a combination involving Luke Moore, Rutherford, Louie Annesley and Jason Prior. It was Sidwell's first goal for Dorking, who led at the interval.

George Alexander levelled for Eastbourne in the 51st minute from Matt Burgess's delivery. Four minutes later, Frank Vincent released Rutherford, who advanced into the area and finished beneath Jamie Searle. Dorking protected the lead through six added minutes.
