Dover Athletic return to the Megger Community Stadium on Saturday looking to build on back-to-back league victories see them in 12th place in National League South. Jake Leberl’s side earned an impressive late win away at high-flying Weston-super-Mare on Saturday and will aim to carry that momentum into another important fixture.
Slough Town make the trip after a period of mixed results, though recent performances — including a notable FA Cup win over Altrincham — suggest they remain competitive and capable of posing problems. Both teams will view this as a valuable opportunity to continue climbing the table.
Dover Athletic
Dover Athletic ended Weston-super-Mare’s unbeaten home record with a determined 2–1 win at The Optima Stadium. Weston created the better chances in the first half, but Walker made several key saves to keep the scores level. Dover improved after the break and took the lead on 55 minutes when a Matthews free-kick was diverted into the net by a Weston defender. The hosts equalised shortly after as Wilson finished from inside the box. Weston pushed forward in pursuit of a winner, but Dover struck late; Cocoracchio reacting quickest from a corner in stoppage time to secure all three points.
From the Management
“We’re back at Crabble next Saturday against Slough, and of course we want to keep the momentum going. I think that’s four unbeaten now, and there’s still more to come. We’ve got Hanson back in training, we’re looking strong, and we’re really enjoying our football.”
Slough Town
Slough Town were unable to secure back-to-back home league wins as Worthing came from behind to claim a 2-1 victory at Arbour Park, extending their winning streak to nine games. Slough made a bright start and took the lead in the fifth minute when Makowski headed in from Goddard’s cross. Worthing gradually increased the pressure, but Desbois made several strong saves to preserve the advantage at half-time. The visitors eventually broke through on 69 minutes as Dolaghan tapped in from close range and the forward completed the turnaround soon after, finishing low from another right-side delivery. Slough pushed late on but Worthing held firm.
Slough Town currently sit 22nd in National League South with 15 points from 17 games, struggling for consistency after major squad turnover in the summer. Last season’s top scorer Slavi Spasov and several key players departed, prompting a sizeable rebuild focused on young signings from Step 3 and 4. Manager Scott Davies continues to promote player development, with new arrivals such as Makowski, Clarke and Greenidge showing potential. Matches have generally been closely contested, and while results have been mixed to this point, performances suggest they are capable of pushing higher up the table as the campaign develops.
