A fine fightback saw Dover defy their critics and earn an opening-day National League South point against Torquay on Saturday.

Having only avoided relegation on the last day last term, Whites were 2-0 down inside 20 minutes against promotion favourites Torquay, with one of their debutants Chevron McLean scoring an own goal and skipper Asa Hall doubling the Gulls lead.

But Dover rapidly improved and Zidan Sutherland cut the deficit in the first half before Roman Charles-Cook made it 2-2 after the restart.

There was a nightmare start for Whites who fell behind in the fourth minute at Crabble in largely wet and gloomy conditions.
