BRUNDLE AND LOKKO WIN AWARDS
Mitch Brundle and Kevin Lokko had extra reason to celebrate following Whites’ 1-0 home win against Aldershot Town on Saturday.
Both players scooped awards at the end-of-season presentation in the Centre Spot.
Brundle won both the Supporters’ Player of the Season and Away Supporters’ player of the Season.
Athletic’s captain received 61% of votes from fans after eight goals and 13 assists during an impressive campaign.
Brundle was also given a £250 cheque from the Supporter’s Club to donate to a charity of his choice – selecting Pegasus Play Scheme, a local charity, as the recipient of the cheque.
Lokko took home the Players’ Player of the Season after receiving the most nominations from his teammates.
The defender has played every league game since boss Andy Hessenthaler returned to the club in October and is currently on a career best of six goals so far this season.
Congratulations to Mitch and Kevin on their awards!
PREVIEW: WHITES V ALDERSHOT
Athletic host their first match on Good Friday since confirming their National League status for next season.
Having trailed by two goals at Barrow last weekend, three goals in the final 17 minutes saw Athletic complete a dramatic turnaround to guarantee a finish above the bottom four on the league ladder.
The visiting Shots were unable to halt their own slide towards the National South and their relegation was confirmed after a 1-1 home draw with Hartlepool last Saturday.
And Dover will likely take note of the Shots’ away record this season.
Gary Waddock’s side have won three times on the road in the league, with their only victory in 2019 coming at Boreham Wood last month (2-0).
PLEASE NOTE THE MATCH WILL BE SEGREGATED
