*BS*Stunning goals by Adam Birchall and Nicky Nicolau capped an impressive display by Dover on Tuesday at Ebbsfleet.*BF*

Kevin Harris summarises: “Whites bounced back from the disappointing performance at the weekend with a superb display at Stonebridge Road against Ebbsfleet United.

“Dover were the better side throughout, and took the lead just before halftime with a great strike from Adam Birchall. Whites were even better after the break, and should have sewn the game up long before Nicky Nicolau’s thunderbolt sent the travelling fans wild.”
