A Frannie Collin double kept up Dover Athletic's superb start to the Blue Square South season as they secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory at Eastleigh on Saturday.

Whites led inside two minutes when Olly Schulz flicked on a long throw and Collin's shot on the turn found the net.

It was a frenetic opening to proceedings and, after Jon Wallis had struck the woodwork, the visitors increased their lead when Shaun Welford's shot was parried into the path of Collin who netted the rebound.

Eastleigh reduced the deficit almost immediately as Anthony Riviere expertly chipped keeper Lee Hook.

Collin shot high over the bar when he had a chance to complete his hat-trick on 64 minutes - but Whites needed two strokes of good fortune to hold onto the points.

First, Hook saved an Eastleigh penalty after a foul by Lee Browning and then the hosts struck the post during a frantic four minutes of injury time.
