Prior's 63rd minute free header at the back post from George Francomb's corner helped part-time Wanderers push Pools out of the top seven for the first time this season.

Tom Blair's brilliant low finish with three minutes remaining inside the far corner made sure this was a first trip to the Suit Direct Stadium to remember for Marc White's side.

Dorking, who have lost just one of their last seven games to climb to tenth, had already had the better of the chances but Pete Jameson made excellent stops to deny headers from Dan Gallagher, twice, and Harry Ottaway.

White, whose side have kept three clean sheets in a row away from home, said: "For a club like Dorking to come to iconic places like this and get three points is amazing for us.
