POOLE Town boss Tom Killick was delighted with his side’s resilience and doggedness as they claimed a vital 2-0 victory at Alresford.
Going into last night's game a mammoth 16 points behind Wessex League Premier Division leaders Winchester City, Dolphins desperately needed a win to start closing the gap.
And second-half goals from Dan Cann and Lamin Dibba saw the Dorset side jump up to second in the table.
Killick said: “I’m pleased we won because it wasn’t one of our most fluid performances.
“But we kept a clean sheet, which we’ve had trouble doing recently, so that was good.
“Dave Sturgess came into midfield and had a very good game.
“Him and Micky Hubbard, along with Kevin Gill, were great.”
Dolphins: Jones, Poore, Dibba, M Walker, Skelton (Spetch 60), Hubbard, Sturgess, Preston (T Roberts 60), Gill, S Smith (Jeffes 60), Cann. Unused subs: McCormick, Cuss.
