rome came into the game having won their previous four league matches, and took only 11 minutes to take the lead when Jake Jackson went on a run, shrugged off a couple of defenders and rounded veteran Magpies `keeper Chris Weale.
Dorchester, who suffered a Buildbase FA Trophy `shock` at the weekend after losing to lower league Heybridge Swifts, came back into the game and eventually pulled back on level terms 7 minutes before half-time when a corner was only half-cleared and Mo Baghdadi beat Frome `keeper Kyle Phillips from just outside the box.
The second half became a little niggly, with the book being produced on several occasions.
Then, with 11 minutes remaining, Frome restored their lead when a log ball by Sam Teale found Jon Davies, who turned on the edge of box and fired past Weale into top corner.
And 6 minutes later, it was game over when Joe Raynes clipped the ball through to Jackson who scored on the turn to make it 3-1.
