DOVER Athletic began to erase the memories of relegation by winning their opening match of the Ryman League Division 1 season on Saturday.

Goals from Craig Wilkins and Tommy Tyne gave Clive Walker's side a 2-1 victory against Dulwich Hamlet at the Crabble.

Ramsgate also picked up three points at Burgess Hill Town.

Jim Ward's men came from behind to win 2-1 thanks to second half goals from Stephan Ball and Shane Suter.

Cray Wanderers enjoyed an impressive afternoon at Lymington & New Milton.

Goals from Jamie Kepster, Lee Bremner and a Gary Abbott penalty gave them a comfortable 3-0 win.

Tonbridge Angels picked up a point after a 1-1 draw against Fleet Town at Longmead.

But it was a disappointing day for Ashford Town, who failed to build on Joby Thorogood's 21st minute equaliser and went down 2-1 at Metropolitan Police.
