WHITES SUFFER HOME LOSS

Dover were unable to extend the winning start to their National League campaign after losing 2-1 to Bromley at Crabble on Tuesday evening.

Joshua Rees slotted Bromley in front midway through the first half and a quick breakaway strike from Louis Dennis extended the visitor’s lead after the break.

An own goal from David Gregory gave Whites hope after substitute Kadell Daniel’s (Pictured) free-kick struck the underside of the bar and went in off the keeper, but Athletic were unable to find an equaliser.

Both teams fired early warning efforts at goal, but neither Dennis or Jamie Allen were able to trouble their opposition keepers.

Ryan Bird then went close for the home side, heading agonisingly wide from Giancarlo Gallifuoco’s cross-cum-shot.

The big striker then turned provider for Allen to try again from outside the box, but the striker blazed over.

A driving run and pass from Brett Williams sent Rees clear, but he fired his effort wide for the away side when well placed.

But the midfielder did hit the target on 34 minutes to give Bromley the lead.

Dennis outpaced Gallifuoco out wide and cut back for the onrushing Rees to slot past Mitch Walker.

Dover’s stopper did prevent the away side from doubling their lead prior to the break, blocking William’s drive after neat interplay had left the forward one-on-one.

At the other end, Kane Richards’ opted to head Allen’s cross back across goal instead of at an open target and Gregory pushed Brundle’s thirty-yard free kick into Manny Parry’s path minutes later, but the visiting goalie was up quickly to deny the centre back.

The Raven’s keeper then had to be at his agile best to deny Allen’s drive and Richards’ point blank shot as Whites applied the pressure.

But the game was decided by two moments on 71 minutes.

Connor Essam’s header was cleared off the line and a lighting counter attack up the other end saw Dennis slip the ball past Walker following good work from substitute Iffy Allen.

Dover cut the lead in half four minutes later after Daniel’s free kick bounced down off the bar and in off the unfortunate Gregory.

And Daniel, introduced to the action for the final 20 minutes, forced the visiting stopper into a flying save from a tight angle.

With time running out, Bird volleyed sub Mitch Pinnock’s cross past the top corner and Jamie Allen went for glory with seconds to spare, but fired wide leaving Bromley to take maximum points.

Earlier, manager Chris Kinnear named the same team that started at Hartlepool.  Chris Barnard replaced George Essuman on the bench.

The result sees Whites drop five places to tenth, three points behind leaders Aldershot.

Next up for Whites is a home match against Wrexham on Saturday at 3pm.

WHITES START SEASON WITH WIN

Jamie Allen’s first half strike stunned Hartlepool as Dover won 1-0 at a sodden Victoria Park on Saturday.

The Summer signing from Southport turned and fired into the bottom corner on 28 minutes as Dover won their opening National League fixture of the season at the fourth attempt.

White’s goalscorer showed a glimpse of what was to come early on, running clear of the home defence and squaring for Nortei Nortey to shoot, but the midfielder’s skewed effort failed to reach the target.

Skipper Mitch Brundle then released the dangerous Allen down the left and the winger’s first-time cross just evaded the outstretched legs of Ryan Bird.

The first shot on target saw Pool’s Padraig Amond volley Ryan Donaldson’s corner straight at Mitch Walker.

The second effort on goal came soon after from Kane Richards.  The away attacker cut in from the right, but his weak effort was easily held by Scott Loach in the home goal.

The next action saw Athletic take the lead.  Brundle’s corner was initally cleared to Femi Ilesanmi and the defender’s first-time ball back into the box was fired home by livewire Allen.

The lead should have been doubled minutes later as Ryan Bird thundered a header the wrong side of the post from Josh Passley’s cross.

The teams were almost level before the break, but Jack Nunn could only volley Liam Donnelly’s cross wide.

Home substitutes Rhys Oates and Jake Cassidy combined just after the break with the latter volleying wildly into the air when well placed. The ball fell back to Oates, but the winger’s header failed to hit the target.

A lightning counter from Dover saw Nortey release Allen out wide, but the forward’s low pass was blazed over by Richards from close range.

Bird went close with another header, this time nodding Ilesanmi’s cross straight at Loach.

Hartlepool ramped up the pressure and a quick free kick was fired in. The ball rebounded towards goal off Amond, but a combination of Walker and Parry cleared the danger.

Sub Tobi Sho-Silva should have sealed the win with twenty minutes remaining. The striker had just Loach to beat after being found in the box by Richards, but he placed his effort wide of the far post.

Lewis Hawkins fired a low twenty-yard drive wide as the County Durham side continued to press for a goal.

And the monkey hangers came close to finding an equaliser late on.

Connor Newton created space for himself to shoot from just inside the box, but Walker was able to catch his effort with a diving save.

Louis Laing then drove forward from the back and unleashed a fierce effort on target, with the visiting keeper comfortably clasping the ball.

Dover almost made the three points safe at the death as substitute Mitch Pinnock sent an inch-perfect cross towards Bird, but the big striker could only nod the ball agonisingly wide.

Earlier, manager Chris Kinnear made two changes to the team that started their final home friendly against Margate. Nortei Nortey and Manny Parry started in place of Mitch Pinnock and Manny Adebowale, who dropped to the bench.

WHITES BEAT GATE

Jamie Allen scored his second brace of the week as Dover beat Margate 3-0 at a rain-soaked Crabble on Saturday afternoon.

Kane Richards (Pictured) also netted as Athletic ended their pre-season campaign with a win, their fourth victory in a row.

The Bostik Premier side almost took a surprise early lead via a David Martin header, but the midfielder nodded wide after being found by former Athletic striker Frannie Collin’s corner.

The home side opened the scoring in the fourth minute, Jamie Allen tapping home Richards’ low cross.

Allen then turned provider for Ryan Bird, but the big striker’s header was well saved by visiting goalkeeper Lenny Pidgley.

Orlando Smith almost levelled for the away side minutes later, but his fierce drive narrowly missed the top corner.

At the other end Pidgley made another smart stop, this time turning Connor Essam’s firm header around the post from Mitch Pinnock’s free kick.

Collin almost scored for Gate when his set piece eluded everyone in the box and bounced just wide.

Defender Manny Adebowale, making his first start since signing for Dover earlier in the week, rose highest to connect to Mitch Brundle’s free kick, but his header looped wide of the mark.

Pinnock’s accurate cross found Brundle, but the midfielder’s first time volley flew over. White’s skipper went even closer shortly afterwards, fizzing a free kick just over the bar just before the break.

Richards doubled Dover’s lead on 49 minutes. The winger jinked past the Margate defence and found the bottom corner after Femi Ilesamni had intercepted a pass.

The summer signing from Chester almost had another shortly after, forcing Pidgely into a low save with an effort from the edge of the area.

Allen clipped the top of the bar with a deflected twenty yard effort. The home team then went even closer from the resulting corner, Pidgely parrying Giancarlo Gallifuoco’s point blank header into Essam’s path, but the away defence cleared the danger with the burly defender poised to score.

Whites made it 3-0 in the 67th minute as their wide men combined once again.

Richards low pass made it’s way to Allen and the former Southport man made no mistake from close in to score his fourth in two matches.

Mitch Walker was called into action for the first time late on, clasping onto Martin’s long range free kick.

Former Whites defender Tom Wynter denied Allen a hat trick at the end, bravely blocking the attacker’s shot.

Earlier, Chris Kinnear made two changes to the side that beat Welling 5-0 on Tuesday night. Adebowale and Pinnock started in place of Manny Parry and Nortei Nortey, who both started as substitutes.

Whites start their league campaign away at Hartlepool United on Saturday August 5th at 3pm.

Starting XI: Walker (Trialist 79), Passley, Ilesamni (Trialist 75), Gallifuoco (Essuman 79), Adebowale (Parry 45), Essam, Richards (Trialist 72), Brundle(c) (Barnard 79), Bird (Nortey 79), Allen, Pinnock.

 

FIVE GOAL WHITES CLIP WINGS

Jamie Allen scored twice as Dover eased past Welling United at Crabble on Tuesday night.

Allen (Pictured) and Femi Ilesamni grabbed their first goals for the club, with Ryan Bird and Mitch Pinnock also on the scoresheet as boss Chris Kinnear’s side registered their third win in four days.

The visitors, featuring former Athletic players Joe Healy, Jack Parkinson and Sean Francis, had the first chance of the match when Alfie Pavey’s angled effort was blocked by Mitch Walker and Dover’s stopper was quickest to the rebound.

The home side’s opener came from their first attack on the half hour mark.

Ryan Bird collected Giancarlo Gallifuoco’s deft through ball and fired into the bottom corner from inside the box.

The big striker turned provider for Allen minutes later. The diminutive forward latched onto Bird’s flick on, but was forced wide by a sprawling Chris Lewington.

Still with the ball, the forward passed for the onrushing Josh Passley to shoot, but the right back’s powerful strike was blocked by Welling’s goalkeeper.

Athletic doubled their lead just before the break thanks to Ilesamni, with Bird glancing Passley’s cross into the path of the wing back to sidefoot into the bottom corner.

The onslaught on the visiting defence continued after the restart.

Lewington tipped away Kane’s Richard’s curling effort after the winger pounced on Jack Parter’s error.

Connor Essam prodded over Manny Parry’s knock down from a Mitch Brundle corner and Richards went close again, this time heading wide Passley’s cross.

Athletic’s third arrived on 70 minutes, Richard’s skilfully beating his man and finding Allen free in the box to head home.

And the former Southport man grabbed another just three minutes later, sprinting clear and firing in thanks to another fine assist from Richards.

Bird seized upon a misplaced pass from Ben Jefford, only for Lewington to deny the former Newport man.

However, the rout was completed in injury time as Mitch Pinnock slotted in from close range.

Earlier, Kinnear made 10 changes from Monday night’s 2-0 win at Tonbridge Angels with Gallifuoco the only player to start both games.

Tobi Sho-Silva, Mitch Pinnock, George Essuman and Chris Barnard all dropped on the bench having started the previous evening.

Dover: Walker, Passley, Ilesamni (Triallist 86), Essam, Parry, Gallifuoco, Brundle (Triallist 80), Richards (Pinnock 73), Triallist (Triallist 83), Allen (Sho-Silva 73), Bird.

 

WHITES BEAT ANGELS

Athletic registered their second pre-season win in as many games, beating Tonbridge Angels 2-0 at the Longmead Stadium on Monday night.

An early tap in for a triallist and a smart second half finish from Tobi Sho-Silva was enough for Dover to overcome their Bostik Premier opponents.

The visitors made the perfect start in the first minute.  Mitch Pinnock’s fierce freekick was parried wide, but Dover’s attack were quick to play the ball back into the box where a triallist was lurking to tuck the ball home.

Former Dover duo Craig Stone and Nathan Elder combined on the half hour mark for Angels, with the latter powering a header narrowly wide.

At the other end, some delightful wing play from one of the triallists ended with Sho-Silva stabbing the ball wide minutes before half time.

But Sho-Silva made amends for his miss in the 54th minute

Chris Barnard’s defence splitting pass found the in-form forward, who made no mistake from close range, slotting home via the post to make it three goals in two games.

Midfielder Barnard (Pictured) almost created another, this time sending substitute Kane Richards clear, but the winger was unable to get the better of the home keeper Anthony Di Bernardo.

Jamie Allen almost grabbed his first goal for Whites late on, but his near post effort was pushed away by the home keeper.

Substitute Connor Essam almost scored at the death, his deep cross striking the top of the bar.

Earlier, boss Chris Kinnear made six changes to the team that started against Folkestone.

Giancarlo Gallifuoco, George Essuman, Pinnock and Sho-Silva retained their place from the weekend with Barnard coming into midfield.

Whites host Welling United on Tuesday ay 7.45pm.

WHITES CRUSH FOLKESTONE

Dover proved too strong for their Bostik Premier League neighbours after winning Saturday’s friendly 5-1 at the Fullicks Stadium.

Tobi Sho-Silva netted a brace, with Kane Richards, Mitch Brundle and substitute Ryan Bird also on the scoresheet.

Athletic went close early on as Brundle struck the post with a low effort after winning the ball in midfield.

First to the rebound was Sho-Silva and the fomer Bromley man sent the ball back towards Dover’s captain, who headed straight at Folkestone keeper Scott Chalmers-Stevens.

Invicta’s stopper had to be at his best minutes later, tipping away Sho-Silva’s drive after the striker had been put clean through by Mitch Pinnock.

Brundle’s resulting corner almost flew straight in, but Scott Heard was on hand at the back post to head off the line.

Another Pinnock pass saw Richards run clear of the home defence, but his delicate chip sailed harmlessly over.

The first goal came on 33 minutes. An error from Folkestone skipper Kwabena Osei saw the ball run into Sho-Silva’s path and the forward fired home his first goal for Dover via a slight deflection.

The lead was almost doubled prior to the break, Femi Ilesamni crossing towards a lurking Richards at the far post, but the winger aimed his header wide of the upright.

But the summer signing from Chester bagged his first for the club 15 minutes after the restart.

The pacy winger made no mistake from five yards, slotting home a cross at the near post.

Brundle then opened his own account for Dover in stunning style a minute later. The midfielder’s 20 yard chip from Bird’s lay-off sailed over a helpless Chalmers-Stevens and into the top corner.

Sho-Silva grabbed his second on 75 minutes, taking Brundle’s smart pass in his stride and calmly slotting into the bottom corner.

Invicta grabbed a late consolation when a cross from Salvin Kisitu went straight in with nine minutes remaining.

Bird had the last say though, latching onto a long ball and smashing home with the last kick of the match.

Earlier, boss Chris Kinnear had made three changes from Tuesday night’s defeat to Charlton.

Pinnock, George Essuman and a triallist came in for Jamie Allen, Connor Essam and Bird, who started on the bench.

Dover visit Tonbridge Angels on Monday (7.30pm) before hosting Welling on Tuesday (7.45pm).

WHITES DEFEATED BY ADDICKS

Dover suffered their first defeat in pre-season after a goal in each half from Jake Forster-Caskey and substitute Reeco Hackett-Fairchild saw League One Charlton win 2-0 at Crabble on Tuesday.

There was little action in the first 10 minutes of Dover’s third friendly until Forster-Caskey struck the angle of post and bar from outside the area before Kane Richards’ low effort flew just wide minutes later.

Visiting goalkeeper Dillon Phillips had to be at his agile best to tip away Connor Essam’s header from Mitch Brundle’s corner and the centre back was presented with another goalscoring opportunity 10 minutes later.

Brundle’s free-kick was flicked into the path of Essam, but the defender appeared to not realise he only had the goalie to beat and nodded harmlessly over.

The away side opened the scoring just before the break after Northern Ireland international Josh Magennis’ cross found Forster-Caskey and the midfielder made no mistake with a close range header.

Dover replied with captain Brundle having free-kick held by Phillips at the second attempt.

Brundle’s side continued to push forward after the break and half-time substitute Loui Fazakerley’s foray into the box ended with a shot on target, but Charlton’s stopper comfortably dealt with his effort.

The right-back ventured forward again minutes later, this time slinging a dangerous cross into the box, but fellow substitute Mitch Pinnock was unable to convert.

A trio of chances involving both sides were missed on the hour point.

Essam flashed a header wide from a Pinnock delivery before sub Tobi-Sho Silva fired an twenty yard effort inches wide.

At the other end, nice interplay involving Magennis and Karlan Ahearne-Grant ended with the latter blazing over when well placed.

Mark Marshall created space for the himself to shoot, but Dover goalkeeper Mitch Walker was equal to his effort, diving left to push the ball to safety.

Walker was also on hand to deny Aaron Phillips attempt to go around him.

The Addicks made the game safe right at the death with Joe Aribo laying the ball off to Hackett-Fairchild to fire home.

Earlier, manager Chris Kinnear named an unchanged starting side from the team that drew with Gillingham on Saturday.

Dover: Walker, Trialist (Trialist 46mins), Ilesanmi (Essuman 46mins), Gallifuoco (Barnard 79mins), Parry (Trialist 46mins), Essam, Richards (Trialist 46mins), Brundle (Pinnock 46mins), Bird (Sho-Silva 46mins), Allen (Fazakerley 46mins), Trialist (Trialist 78mins).

DOVER DRAW WITH GILLS

Dover and Gillingham shared the spoils in an exciting all-Kent pre-season friendly thanks to Giancarlo Gallifuoco’s second half tap in.

The defender, who signed a one year deal with Athletic earlier this week, punished Gillingham goalkeeper Thomas Holy after the Czech stopper allowed Mitch Brundle’s free kick to wriggle underneath his body and into the path of the Australian.

Ryan Bird had earlier given the home side the lead five minutes into the first half, but Gillingham hit back through goals from Connor Wilkinson and Luke O’Neill before Gallifuco levelled.

Dover made the perfect start as Bird expertly directed Femi Ilesamni’s cross into the back of the visitors net via the post.

Jake Hessenthaler, son of former Dover Manager Andy, went close with a header and Gillingham had an even better chance to level 10 minutes later.

Goalkeeper Mitch Walker felled a Gillingham triallist in the box, but redeemed himself by diving left to push away Wilkinson’s spot kick.

However, the White’s stopper was unable to keep Wilkinson out for long as the visiting striker slotted pounced on Connor Essam’s miscontrol to slot home.

The home side almost had the lead shortly after the break, but Jamie Allen’s close range effort was deflected wide. Lee Martin then let fly from the edge of the box for Gills, but his effort flew the wrong side of the post.

The League One side took the lead on 61 minutes as Luke O’Neill crashed a close range header past a helpless Walker.

But Gallifuoco was on hand to equalise minutes later and Dover were inches away from winning the match late on as Holy tipped a triallist’s curling effort onto the cross bar.

Earlier boss Chris Kinnear made one change to the starting line up from Tuesday night’s 3-0 win at Deal Town.

Gallifuoco, Bird and two triallists came in for Loui Fazakerley, George Essuman, Tobi Sho-Silva and Mitchell Pinnock, who all came on as second half substitutes against Gills.

DEAL TOWN 0-3 DOVER ATHLETIC

George Essuman’s stunning overhead kick set Dover on their way to victory in their first pre-season friendly at a rain soaked Charles Ground on Tuesday evening.

The defender, making his first start since joining from VCD Athletic in March, spectacularly volleyed home Mitch Brundle’s corner to open the scoring midway through the first half.

A fierce strike from one of the triallists and a neat finish from another debutant, Ryan Bird, sealed victory for the visitors after the break.

Boss Chris Kinnear’s new look side, featuring six summer signings, showed their attacking intent straight from kick off.

Connor Essam powered an early header over and Brundle, wearing the captain’s armband, fired a long range effort narrowly off target shortly after.

Whites continued to press and Mitch Pinnock’s pin-point cross found Tobi Sho-Silva at the back post, but the former Bromley forward’s volley was deflected behind.

Deal Town’s defence continued to hold firm, this time recovering to block Jamie Allen’s angled effort following some sublime skill from the pacy striker.

But the home team were unable to hold out any longer as Essuman fired home the resulting corner to give Dover a deserved lead.

A rare attack minutes before the break saw Town hit the post with a header and at the other end Kane Richard’s tight drive stung the palms of Deal’s goalkeeper.

Boss Kinnear made nine changes at half time. Striker Bird, midfielder Chris Barnard and seven triallists were all given 45 minutes.

The home team almost levelled twenty minutes after the restart after some pinball in the box ended in the ball being stabbed wide.

The lead was doubled on 73 minutes after one of the trialist’s found the bottom corner from range.

Bird wrapped the game up late on, collecting a clever through ball and slamming the ball into the bottom corner.

Dover’s next friendly is at home to League One Gillingham on Saturday with a 3pm kick-off.

Dover starting XI :Walker, Fazakerley, Ilesamni, Essam, Parry, Essuman, Pinnock, Brundle(c), Richards, Allen, Sho-Silva.

 

 

WHITES WIN CUP

Ross Lafayette and Aswad Thomas scored the goals as Dover beat Welling United 2-0 to win the Kent Reliance Senior Cup final at Maidstone United’s Gallagher Stadium on Monday.

It was the first time Dover have won the cup since 1991 and they did it without conceding a goal along the way.

To complete a memorable day for Dover captain Loui Fazakerley, who was playing against his former club, he was named Man-of-the-Match.

Dover started brightly against the National League South side and Moses Emmanuel, one of the three changes boss Chris Kinnear made to his starting side following Saturday’s win at Barrow AFC, was soon in action.

He had the first effort of the day with his shot easily gathered by goalkeeper Chris Lewington before Mitch Pinnock’s 25-yarder flew just over the Welling bar.

Dover goalkeeper Mitch Walker was called into action not long after, diving low to his left to turn Ali Fuseni’s shot away for a corner.

Back at the other end, Thomas saw his header from Sam Magri’s cross easily caught by Lewington.

Walker then saved from his Wings namesake Darren and Tom Richards before Sam Hatton’s drive whistled inches wide of the Dover goal.

Lewington needed to be alert after Emmanuel charged down Danny Waldron’s clearance and the keeper won the foot race with the Dover frontman to the loose ball.

Welling had the first chance of the second half with Alex Cathline turning well in Dover’s box before seeing his shot saved at close range by Walker moments after the restart.

The deadlock was broken in the 54th minute and it stunning style by Lafayette.

His curling 25-yarder gave Lewington no chance as it flew into the top corner of the goal in front of the Dover fans.

Welling saw efforts from Hatton and Ricky Hayles fly well wide before Walker safely caught former Dover striker Harry Crawford’s shot.

Walker saved from Walker again before substitute Peter Skapetis’ overhead kick went close just after the Australian striker came on for his Dover debut.

Magri saw his header from Joe Healy’s corner saved by Lewington as Whites pressed for a second.

Thomas delivered it with three minutes to go when he headed home Healy’s cross.

Earlier, Kinnear had to make three enforced changes.

Jamie Grimes and Ricky Miller missed out through injury while Connor Essam’s loan deal from Eastleigh had ended.

They were replaced by Fazakerly, Pinnock and Emmanuel.

Dover: Walker, Orlu , N’Gala , Fazakerley, Magri, Healy, Pinnock (Skapetis mins), Hurst, Thomas, Lafayette (Stevenson 80 mins), Emmanuel (Jackson 90 mins).

Subs not used: Kinnear jnr, Barnard.
