Dover are at home again and back in league action against Bognor Regis Town.
Dover Athletic
On Saturday, Dover Athletic secured a 3-0 victory over Cheshunt in the Isuzu FA Trophy third qualifying round at the Megger Community Stadium. After a goalless first half, Dover took control in the second period. The breakthrough came in the 55th minute when Cheshunt’s Remi Sutton scored an own goal, followed by Ruben Soares-Junior’s long-range effort in the 64th minute. Luke Baptiste sealed the win five minutes later with a close-range finish from Soares-Junior’s cross. Cheshunt’s Raul Da Silva was sent off in the 72nd minute, and Dover comfortably saw out the game to advance to the next round.
Kieron Agbebi (foot) remains unavailable with injury.
