Three second half goals saw Dorchester Sports come from behind to beat Portland Reserves 4-1 on Wednesday night (August 21).
Goals from Derek Wall, Josh Leake and a brace from Alex Godfrey means Dorchester now top the Dorset Premier League.
The result also means that Portland have now lost their first game of the season and sit sixth in the division.
It took just five minutes for the home side to open the scoring as Dawson Mallett received a cross from the right wing which he brought down and finished coolly from eight yards.
Twenty minutes later, Sports would find themselves level courtesy of Derek Wall after the striker headed in from a Liam Taylor cross.
Dorchester's Joel Hewitt was forced to come off with an injury after 25 minutes and was replaced by Leake.
After the break the game fired into action in what were tough conditions at the Camp and Satherley.
The wind made it difficult for both sides but with just over an hour played, the visitors would put themselves in front for the first time in the match.
Leake played a ball through to Godfrey who finished well from 20 yards to claim his first of the evening.
The Blues half a chance to equalise through Ryan McKechnie but his shot was well saved by Sam Duncalf.
Dorchester would increase their lead with around ten minutes to go as Godfrey doubled his tally for the night.
The forward was able to get on the end of a cross to finish from close range to make it 3-1.
Leake would round off his impressive performance after coming off the bench early on by rounding off the scoring in the 90th minute.
After receiving a pass from Toby Kelly, he took one touch and drill a shot low into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.
Next up for Dorchester Sports is a trip to Swanage on Saturday, August 24, whilst Portland Reserves take on Poole Borough on Saturday, August 31
