The date of our National League game at Dagenham & Redbridge has been changed due to international call-ups for three of our players.
Ricky Modeste, Kadell Daniel and Anthony Jeffrey will all be away, so the clash at The Chigwell Construction Stadium has been moved to Tuesday, March 26th at 7.45pm from the original scheduled date of the fixture, Saturday, March 23rd at 3pm.
The Vanarama National League International Call-Ups policy allows the club to postpone the fixture.
Catch up on the best of Tuesday night’s action.
Boss Andy Hessenthaler has his say following Whites’ 1-1 home draw with Boreham Wood on Tuesday night.
Dover will be looking to bounce back to winning ways in the National League on Tuesday evening.
Having been two goals ahead with twenty minutes remaining on Saturday, Andy Hessenthaler’s men lost 3-2 at Hartlepool.
However other results mean Dover are still four points ahead of the relegation zone.
Boreham Wood, four points ahead of Athletic in 17th on the league ladder, have an impressive record at Crabble and have won four of their last six matches at Whites’ home.
Luke Garrard’s men recently ended their own recent poor record on the road.
Wood won 2-0 at Bromley earlier this month to end a 12-match winless streak away from home, started after a 4-0 win at Sutton United back in September.
Home fans might recognise a couple of familiar faces when Wood arrive at Crabble.
Defenders Femi Ilesanmi and Manny Parry were with Athletic last season. Both players featured in 45 matches each for Dover, with Parry scoring five times and Ilesanmi finding the net twice.

First team coach Nicky Southall gives his take on Whites’ 3-2 defeat at Hartlepool on Saturday.
Athletic will aim to continue an impressive statistic when they make the 323-mile trip north on Saturday.
You see Whites’ have a 100% record against Pool, with Jamie Allen’s first-half goal in August 2017 the difference on Dover’s only ever visit to The Super Six Stadium.
Craig Hignett became United’s third manager of the season in January, replacing Richard Money, overseeing an upturn in form with just one loss during his six matches in charge
Hignett will want to improve Hartlepool’s record of one home win in 2019 – a 2-1 win against Braintree Town on 26th January – his first game of his third spell as Hartlepool boss.
And former Middlesbrough and Aberdeen player Hignett added some Premier league experience to his side earlier this week.
Canada international David Edgar made a total of 23 appearances in England’s top flight during spells with Newcastle United and Burnley.
The defender returns to the UK after playing in the United Soccer League for Nashville FC and Ottawa Fury.
One of Dover’s management team, a former Premiership player himself, will be familiar with his surroundings this weekend.
First team coach Nicky Southall started his professional career at Hartlepool and played 138 times from 1991-95, scoring 24 goals.
