*BS*Dover go into this weekend’s Ryman One South fixture against Tooting & Mitcham hoping to build on their last-gasp victory against Leatherhead 10 days ago.*BF*

Since that win, courtesy of two free-kick goals by Craig Cloke and Shane Hamshare, Whites’ players have been resting their bones. With a raft of injury doubts, the break has possibly come at the right time for boss Clive Walker.

For this weekend’s game, Liam Quinn is suspended, Lee Spiller continues to sit out for some weeks to come, whilst Danny Chapman, Tony Browne, Bradley Spice and Tommy Tyne are all at least doubtful.

Tooting come into the game second in the form table but with a fixture list starting to stack up. Taking a point or three from Crabble would be a huge boost to their play-off credentials.
