Dover Athletic made it two 4-0 wins from two games in Blue Square Bet South with victory at Thurrock on Tuesday night.

Martin Hayes' side are one of six to have taken six points from a possible six to start the campaign and are the early pace-setters in the division.

After a scrappy opening half at Ship Lane, winger Harry Baker (pictured) struck to put the visitors ahead a minute before the break.

A three-goal burst in 12 second-half minutes made the points safe, with new-boy Billy Bricknell heading home two minutes after the restart and Baker grabbing his second from distance nine minutes later to make it 3-0.

George Purcell added another thunderbolt within 60 seconds as Whites' new-look forward pairing made it three goals apiece in their two games.

Hayes said: "Thurrock were direct and in our face early-on and we were a bit all over the place at times in the first half-hour.

"But we scored just before and after half-time, started to pass the ball well and grew in confidence as the game went on."
