GOALSCORER CATON TAKES HIS CHANCE

James Caton talks goals, accents and reveals who he supports after scoring in the Kent Reliance Senior Cup semi-final win against Folkestone Invicta at Crabble on Monday.

LADIES NIGHT ON CUP NIGHT

We host Folkestone Invicta in the Kent Reliance Senior Cup semi-final at Crabble tonight and there will be an added incentive for female fans attending the game.

As part of the celebrations for International Women’s Day on March 8th, the club has donated a Dover shirt and all ladies attending the game will get a ticket entering them into the half-time draw to win it.

Whites reached this stage of the competition after beating visiting Ryman League North side VCD Athletic 4-0 earlier this month.

James Caton, Moses Emmanuel, Connor Essam and Ira Jackson jnr scored the goals.

The club have reduced the admission price for the game down to just £5 for all, while under-11s get into Crabble for free, to allow as many fans and members of the community as possible to come along.

The game kicks-off at 7.45pm.

NICK DONATES DEFIBRILLATOR TO CLUB

Long time Dover fan Nick Cunningham has continued to show his support for the club – and his generosity could save a life.

The local businessman – who owns Nick Cunningham Plumbing and Heating Engineers, based in Sandwich – has brought a defibrillator for use in the community ventures running.

The club already has one defibrillator in the medical facilities at Crabble for use on players or fans on match days, but there was a need for another as Dover Athletic Community Manager Vikki Pawley explains.

“Due to the rise in community projects we have running at the ground now, Saturday and school holiday soccer schools and the walking football, we felt we needed a second defibrillator at the ground,” she said.

“After discussing this need in the sponsors lounge last week, Nick Cunningham has stepped forward and generously bought us one for the community projects.”

As for Nick, he was simply happy to help his beloved club.

He said: “Hopefully, the club will never have to use it, but at least we now have a second one in place should the need arise.”

The new machine will be presented by Nick to the club at Saturday’s National League game against Solihull Moors.

We thank Nick for his kind gesture and generosity as well as his continued support.
