Dogged Dorking…….

Dorking played with consistent determination and without doubt there were phases in the game where they played with a greater degree of passion and intensity than we ever did! The very fact they never gave up is testament to the character of Dorking and we warmly welcome them to Barnes for the next contest. Thank you for being such great sports.
