Preview – Cheshunt vs Dover Athletic

Dover Athletic head to Hertfordshire to take on Cheshunt in the Isthmian Premier Division

Dover Athletic

On Saturday, Dover Athletic’s unbeaten run ended with a 1-0 loss to Cray Wanderers in a tense Isthmian League Premier Division match at Crabble. Despite dominating possession and creating chances, Dover struggled to break through Cray’s defence. George Nikaj’s early effort was saved, and Ruben Soares-Junior received a yellow card as tensions flared. Cray struck in the 47th minute through Kenny Coker, and although Dover pressed relentlessly, efforts from Francis Mampolo and Luke Baptiste, including a header off the crossbar, fell short. Frustration grew as Cray held firm, securing all three points.

Cheshunt

On Tuesday, Cheshunt secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Bowers & Pitsea in the Isthmian League Premier Division at The Cheshunt Stadium. The match began at a frantic pace, with early chances for both sides, but it was Uko Oji’s composed 38th-minute finish that proved decisive. The Ambers defended resolutely, with Tommy Wood’s disallowed second-half goal and a brilliant point-blank save from the Bowers keeper adding to the drama. Despite late pressure, including a dubious stoppage-time free kick, Cheshunt held firm to claim all three points.

Cheshunt currently sits 19th in the Isthmian Premier League with 20 points from 19 matches. Recording 5 wins, 5 draws, and 9 losses. At home, Cheshunt have struggled with just 2 wins from 10 games, while their away form has been slightly better, with 3 wins and 2 draws in 9 matches. They have scored 26 goals but conceded 30, resulting in a goal difference of -4.
