Dorchester Town ran out comfortable winners in an action packed game over Frome at The Avenue.

Olaf Koszela and Shaquille Gwengwe put the Magpies 2-0 up within the opening 10 minutes with substitutes Matt Buse and Wayne Robinson adding to the tally in the second half.

Both sides had a player sent off just before the break after a melee broke out following a foul on Dorchester's Jack Dickson.

Jordan Nglao and Alex Monks were sent for an early bath for their involvement in the incident. 

Frome's misery was compounded when Sam Heal also saw red towards the end of the game.

Killick made three changes from the defeat to Banbury with Will Spetch returning from suspension, whilst Kyran Samadi made his first league start of the campaign.

Noah Crisp started in goal with Gerard Benfield having been recalled to Weymouth.

The Magpies flew out of the blocks and carved Frome up from the get go, scoring within five minutes of kick off.

Dickson found himself in acres of space down the right wing and marauded forward with the ball, before pulling the ball back for Koszela to finish from close range.

Some quick thinking by Corby Moore from a short free quick saw the midfielder find Gwengwe who rifled the ball into the top corner.

Twenty minutes in and Dorchester were in complete control and almost made it 3-0 only for Koszela's free kick to be tipped onto the bar by Kyle Phillips in the Robins goal.

Frome's first real chance of the game came half an hour in when Albie Hopkins tried his luck from range forcing Crisp into a routine save.

Then, just before half time a moment of madness ensued after a melee broke out on the pitch after a heavy challenge on Dickson with Ngalo and Monks both sent for an early bath.

Frome almost pulled one back moments later but Sam Teale's header clipped the top of the cross bar before the referee blew for half time.

Buse replaced Samadi during the break as Killick looked to shuffle his midfield and bring some balance to the team after Ngalo's dismissal.

After the restart Frome's James Ollis forced Crisp into action, however, the Magpies keeper easily gathered the ball.

With just over an hour played Buse made it 3-0 after firing a shot in from range, although, Phillips will feel he should have saved the strike after fumbling his save.

The away side almost grabbed a consolation minutes later when Day beat Crisp to the ball but Spetch was on hand to head the ball off the line.

Then in the 89th minute Robinson rounded off the scoring after some good work by Luke Roberts to set up the forward.

The win moves Dorchester to 8th in the Southern League Premier, three points off the playoff spots with nine points from six games.
