Manager Mitch Brundle praised his new-look Dover squad’s work ethic after their comeback win over Eastbourne in National League South on Saturday.

Striker Josh Ajayi’s first Whites goal ended a six-game winless run. Leone Gravata put Boro ahead early on but centre-back Tyrone Sterling’s bullet header levelled things.

And a deflected effort by Ajayi after the restart proved the difference in Dover's 2-1 triumph. It was the first time they had come from behind to win since before the Covid pandemic and their first league success since Brundle was named as Andy Hessenthaler’s permanent successor.

Brundle said: “Like I said when I first took the job, it’s a work in progress. “The players have got to trust the process, and they have.
