PREVIEW: DAGENHAM & REDBRIDGE V WHITES

Dover travel to East London tonight aiming to make it back-to-back wins in the National League.

Whites moved five points clear of Havant & Waterlooville in 21st place and lie four points below this evening’s opponents, though the Daggers have played one game less.

Boss Andy Hessenthaler will be keen to put an end to Dover’s poor record at Dagenham, with Athletic losing six and drawing once in their previous seven visits.

Peter Taylor’s men are currently in good form at the Chigwell Construction stadium – with a 2-0 defeat last month against Gateshead their only home defeat this year.

Three of the Athletic’s squad will be familiar with their surroundings when they take to the pitch later tonight.

Defender Kevin Lokko made 25 appearances for Dagenham during a loan spell from Stevenage last season, Josh Passley played 38 times matches for Daggers during the 2015/16 campaign and Stuart Lewis features 10 times for the London club in 2010.

INTERNATIONAL WATCH

Dover’s trio of Ricky Modeste, Anthony Jeffrey and Kadell Daniel all featured as CONCACAF Nations League qualifying reached an end this weekend.

Daniel and Jeffrey both started for Guyana as the Golden Jaguars created history by qualifying for the Gold Cup for a first ever time, beating Belize 2-1 on Saturday evening.

Modeste played 90 minutes for Grenada as the Spice Boys won 2-0 in Puerto Rico, though the win was not enough for his side to participate in this summer’s tournament.

Dover are in National League action this week as they travel to Dagenham & Redbridge on Tuesday 26th March, kick off 7:45pm.

DOVER TRIO AIMING FOR GOLD

Qualification for the Gold Cup is on the agenda this weekend for Athletic’s trio of Kadell Daniel, Anthony Jeffrey and Ricky Modeste as the CONCACAF Nations League qualifiers reach their climax.

Daniel and the uncapped Jeffrey will be aiming to help Guyana qualify for their first-ever Gold Cup when the Golden Jaguars host Belize at 10:30pm GMT on Saturday 23rd March.

Guyana started their Nations League qualifying campaign with a 2-2 draw home draw against Barbados but were later awarded a 3-0 win after FIFA ruled the visitors had fielded two ineligible players.

Daniel, on course to make a fourth international appearance, was on the scoresheet in Guyana’s next match – an 8-0 rout of Turks and Caicos, but was unable to prevent his side going down 2-1 at French Guiana in their following game.

Modeste will also be hoping his side can seal their place in the tournament later this year when Grenada travel to Puerto Rico for an 8 pm GMT kick off on Sunday 24th March.

Grenada lost their first two qualifying matches 10-0 and 2-0 to Curacao and Cuba respectively, however, have given themselves hope of a second Gold Cup appearance with a 5-2 win against Saint Martin.

Dover’s winger has netted twice in three appearances for the Spice Boys.

The international call-ups mean our National League clash at Dagenham & Redbridge, originally scheduled for Saturday 23rd March, has now been rescheduled for Tuesday 26th March, Kick off 7:45 pm.

Good luck Anthony, Kadell and Ricky!

MCNAMARA LOAN ENDS

Defender Danny McNamara has returned to Championsip side Millwall after his two-month loan spell with us.

The 20-year-old right-back made his debut in the 0-0 draw in the National League clash away at Havant & Waterlooville on January 26th.

He went on to play a further seven games, scoring his first goal at senior level in the 3-1 win at Salford City on February 16th.

Everybody at the club would like to thank Danny for his contribution during his time with us and we wish him all the very best for the future.
