Staff Update

John McNicoll has recently departed from his role with the club.

We’d like to thank John for all his hard work as both Media Officer and Kitman as he leaves Crabble. John, who joined us at the start of 2023 has supported the club from near and far including a stint coaching the youth teams during the last decade. We wish John all the best in the future!

In John’s departure, we would like to welcome George Cory as our new Media Officer.

George, who has supported The Whites for as long as he can remember, has taken the step up from Media Volunteer to one of our core members of staff. George will take care of the social media side of things as well as keeping the website updated with all the relevant information as well as helping to create our matchday programme.

‘I’m really pleased to have progressed from a volunteer to a member of the DAFC team and looking forward to continuing my work on the clubs media – I’m really grateful to be involved with the club that means so much to me. COYW!’

For any media enquiries contact George directly on [email protected]

Welcome to Crabble, George.

DOVER PART WAYS WITH MITCH BRUNDLE

This morning the club announce that Mitch Brundle has left his position as First Team manager.

Chairman Jim Parmenter said in a statement:

I would like to thank Mitch for his tireless efforts during his time at the club, he has worked diligently to try and improve the club’s results. Unfortunately, even when we have drawn so many matches those wins have continued to be elusive, therefore it is time to take a different direction. A further statement will be made in due course confirming the new Management structure”

Good luck in the future, Mitch.

UP NEXT – HAVANT & WATERLOOVILLE

Whites face crunch clash with the Hawks.

As we edge nearer to the halfway point of the 2023/24 campaign, the Whites head coastbound to Havant & Waterlooville to face the Hawks in a must win Vanarama National League South encounter.

Mitch Brundle and his new assistant Jake Leberl will have been glad to have had a full weeks training, being the first time since the end of October, due to a run of midweek fixtures. This will give the squad a chance to gain new impetus from a new voice, with new ideas, as we look to start climbing the table.

Havant have been on a terrible run, losing all five of their last five fixtures in all competitions but despite the lack of form, will still pose a threat to Brundle’s charges as we look to escape the relegation zone. It’s going to take some togetherness and for us to actually get that little bit of luck in games that we just haven’t had lately.
