SHANE HAMSHARE has broken his leg following what can only be described as an X-rated challenge at Leatherhead on Tuesday night.

The young midfielder, who is highly rated by the club’s coaching staff and fans, was victim to a tackle that went unpunished.

Dover Athletic officials were disappointed that the referee failed to take any action for what was a very dangerous tackle.

Chairman Jim Parmenter said: “This is a big blow for us. Especially as Danny Chapman now faces a suspension as well – after he was sent off for reacting to what was an equally bad tackle.”
