Season: 2016-2017

Dover Athletic FC v Gateshead

RICKY Miller enhanced his reputation as the National League’s leading marksman after his double sunk play-off chasing rivals Gateshead at Crabble on Saturday.

The striker took his tally to 34 after a goal in each half, including a sublime free-kick, as Dover ended Gateshead’s 10-game unbeaten run in front of a crowd of 2,507 on the second Family Day of the season.

The clean sheet, Dover’s third in four games, also meant it was the first time Gateshead had failed to score in 15 games.

The three-points see boss Chris Kinnear’s side move up two places to sixth, two points behind Aldershot, but with a game in hand.

Dover goalkeeper Mitch Walker made the first save of the match, comfortably catching Jordan Burrow’s header in the seventh minute before doing the same to Liam Hogan’s looping effort a couple of minutes later.

Walker’s counterpart, James Montgomery, comfortably dealt with a couple of probing crosses, including one from Moses Emmanuel which just failed to find an outstretched Ricky Modeste.

But there was nothing he could do to prevent Miller from opening the scoring with a stunning free-kick in the 33rd minute.

The striker was brought down by Hogan 25 yards out and he picked himself before unleashing an unstoppable curling effort into the top corner of Montgomery’s goal.

Miller was at it again soon after, seeing a volley go well over before Montgomery denied him in a one-on-one.

The Heed responded with Mitch Brundle heading over Jamal Fyfield’s cross before Walker produced a great save to deny Paddy McLaughlin a certain goal on the stroke of half-time.

McLaughlin raced on to Danny Johnson’s cross only to see Walker save his effort from point-blank range.

Montgomery was the first of the goalkeepers in action in the second half, saving Emmanuel’s deflected effort seconds after the restart.

Joe Healy’s pass then set Emmanuel free only for him to drag his effort wide.

Healy was next to try his luck, seeing his shot saved by Montgomery following good lead up work involving Tyrone Sterling, Miller, Modeste and Emmanuel.

Dover continued to press and Emmanuel was again the player involved seeing his effort beat Montgomery and go just wide.

Emmanuel then played in Miller, whose shot cannoned into the post and bounced clear.

The visitors released the pressure briefly with Manny Smith heading Brundle’s free-kick wide.

Back at the other end, another Miller free-kick brought a flying save out of Montgomery before the keeper raced off his line to clear from Modeste.

The pressure finally told in the 78th minute when Miller made it 2-0 after he cut inside and drilled a low shot past Montgomery at his near post.

Montgomery palmed away another Miller effort three minutes later.

Gateshead’s leading scorer Johnson missed a great chance to reduce the deficit a minute from time but fired well over Walker’s bar from six yards.

Time was almost up, but Miller was still proving a menace and it took another Montgomery save to deny him a hat-trick.

Earlier, Kinnear made one enforced change to his starting side following the defeat at Tranmere on Tuesday, with Sam Magri replacing the injured James Hurst.

Bondz N’Gala also returned to the matchday squad after missing the past three games for personal reasons.

Tranmere Rovers v Dover Athletic FC

NOT even goalkeeper Mitch Walker’s heroics could prevent Dover from leaving Prenton Park empty-handed on Tuesday.

Walker saved a second-half penalty to deny second-placed Tranmere taking the lead before finally being beaten by substitute Cole Stockton’s header.

The defeat sees Whites drop to eighth on the National League ladder ahead of Gateshead’s visit to Crabble on Saturday.

It was a quiet start to the game and it wasn’t until the 13th minute there was an attempt on goal from either side – and it came from Dover.

Joe Healy’s powerful 25-yarder sailed well wide of Scott Davies’ goal and that sparked the game into life.

Tranmere responded with Andy Cook volleying Liam Ridelagh’s cross into the side netting.

The same pairing combined minutes later with Walker turning Cook’s header over.

Dover had a penalty shout waved away after Moses Emmanuel went down after a Stephen McNulty challenge.

Ricky Miller, jeered every time he went near the ball, almost silenced the home fans with a stunning effort in the 39th minute.

He burst between two defenders before seeing his thunderous strike tipped onto the bar by Davies.

Richard Orlu headed the resulting corner wide before an outstretched Miller just failed to get on the end of Emmanuel’s cross with the goal at his mercy.

Tranmere went on the attack immediately after half-time and Cook’s powerful charge from just inside the Dover half ended with Walker saving the striker’s effort at his near post.

Walker came to the rescue again moments later, keeping out James Norwood’s penalty after Loui Fazakerley had bundled Connor Jennings over.

It was the third consecutive spot kick Tranmere had missed.

Walker was soon back in business again, rushing out bravely to deny an onrushing Norwood in a one-on-one.

Miller was denied by a last-ditch tackle by Adam Buxton before Stockton finally found a way past Walker in the 68th minute.

Ridehalgh’s free-kick found the striker free at the back post and he headed powerfully past Walker.

Lee Vaughan forced Walker into another save seven minutes from time after the defender tried his luck from distance.

Dover almost created something out of nothing deep in stoppage time after Healy robbed Vaughan near the corner flag and the midfielder sent in a cross which led to a mad scramble – but no equaliser.

Earlier, boss Chris Kinnear named the same starting side following the win at Guiseley on Saturday.

He made two changes on the bench with Sam Magri returning from international duty replacing Peter Skapitis.

The other saw Aswad Thomas return from suspension in place of Chris Kinnear jnr.

Guiseley v Dover Athletic FC

RICKY Miller, Ricky Modeste and Ross Lafayette scored the goals as Dover’s impressive record against Guiseley continued on Saturday.

Whites beat the Yorkshire side for the third consecutive time in the National League to stay firmly in the playoff race with a commanding performance at Nethermoor Park.

Miller, back from his two-game suspension, opened the scoring with his 31st league goal of the season to give boss Chris Kinnear’s side a half-time lead.

Modeste added the second, Miller doubled his tally from the penalty spot before a Lafayette penalty completed the rout to end Guiseley’s five-game unbeaten run.

Dover, who are seventh after the win, two points, but with two games in hand over fifth-placed Aldershot, started the game brightly.

James Hurst volleyed well wide against his former club from Joe Healy’s corner before Miller’s effort went over with home goalkeeper Jonathan Maxted out of position.

But it wasn’t long before Miller, who was also on target against the Yorkshire side in the 2-0 win at Crabble earlier in the season, did find his range.

He controlled Connor Essam’s long free-kick from inside Dover’s half before swivelling and firing past a stunned Maxted in the 15thminute.

Jake Cassidy missed a great chance to level things up four minutes later, heading Kevan Hurst’s corner wide.

Dover responded with Moses Emmanuel heading Miller’s cross over before Richard Orlu’s curling effort sailed over Maxted’s bar.

Mitch Walker made his only real save of the day just before half-time, going low to take Hurst’s shot.

Miller continued to pose a threat and ended the half with a shot fizzing just inches wide of Maxted’s goal.

Emmanuel had the first shot of the second half, seeing his effort from a tight angle hit the side netting minutes after the restart.

Hurst was next to try his luck, seeing his shot from the edge of the box curl over Maxted’s goal.

Miller went agonisingly close to doubling the lead in the 65th after his lob over Maxted hit the post and bounced clear.

But just a couple of minutes later Dover did go two-up after Modeste headed home Emmanuel’s cross from close range.

Miller stung Maxted’s hands with a thunderous free-kick as Dover went in search of a third.

It came from the penalty spot nine minutes from time after Miller was bundled over in the box and he got up to blast past Maxted.

Substitute Lafayette completed the job from the penalty spot deep into stoppage time after he had been brought down.

It was his first goal since the win at Maidstone United on New Year’s Day.

Earlier, Kinnear made two changes to his starting side with Miller and Fazakerley coming in to replace Lafayette and Sam Magri.

Magri was on international duty with Malta while Lafayette dropped to the bench.

Aswad Thomas was suspended after his red card against Bromley last Saturday while Bondz N’Gala was still unavailable due to personal reasons.

Dover Athletic FC v Bromley

DOVER ended a 378-minute goal drought and three-game winless run after beating Kent rivals Bromley at Crabble on Saturday.

Midfielder Joe Healy’s scrappy 60th-minute goal was enough to secure the double over Bromley and a vital three points for boss Chris Kinnear’s side, who remain sixth on the National League ladder.

Dover needed to respond following Tuesday’s 5-0 loss at Boreham Wood, but it was a slow start to the game.

It wasn’t until the 16th minute that there was an attempt on either goal – and it came from Dover after Ricky Modeste hit James Hurst’s cross well over former Dover goalkeeper Ross Flitney’s bar.

Flitney made his first save of the day moments later, pushing Moses Emmanuel’s shot onto the post after the winger had jinked his way past two defenders.

Emmanuel was proving to be a threat to his former club and saw an attempted lob and header both go over Flitney’s bar.

Recalled Dover goalkeeper Mitch Walker made his first real save of the day just after the half-hour mark when he came a long way to claim Alan Dunne’s free-kick.

The next chance to break the stalemate fell to Connor Essam two minutes after half-time, but the big defender headed Healy’s corner wide.

Flitney kept out Ross Lafayette’s half volley before that man Emmanuel headed the rebound over.

Dover continued to press and a Bromley clearance cannoned into Modeste and ended up going inches wide before the visitors replied with Louis Dennis’ 20-yarder going just wide of Walker’s goal.

Walker’s counterpart Flitney produced a superb save to keep out Healy’s powerful strike from distance but he couldn’t deny the midfielder on the hour mark.

Flitney failed to deal with Modeste’s cross and Healy was there to scramble the ball home, later saying it had come off his heel.

Emmanuel went close to doubling the lead four minutes later, seeing his curling effort beat Flitney and his goal by inches.

Match-winner Healy saved his side at the other end five minutes from time, heading Dunn’s header off the line before Lafayette saw a shot deflected wide in the closing minutes.

But there was still time for more drama with Dover substitute Aswad Thomas shown a second yellow for dissent after the full-time whistle.

Earlier, Thomas was one of three changes Kinnear made to his starting side with Walker, Sterling and Hurst all coming in to replace Steve Arnold, Thomas and Bondz N’Gala.

N’Gala missed the game through personal reasons.

Boreham Wood v Dover Athletic

DOVER suffered their equal heaviest defeat of the season after crashing to a 5-0 loss at Boreham Wood on Tuesday night.

And just like that loss at Chester in October, Whites, who remain sixth on the National League ladder, conceded all five goals in the second half.

The loss also meant it was the third consecutive game the Hertfordshire side had beaten boss Chris Kinnear’s side.

Ricky Shakes led the way for Boreham Wood with a hat-trick while Bruno Andrade bagged a double.

The home side threatened early, with Shakes curling just wide of Steve Arnold’s goal following Kenny Davis’ lay-off after just five minutes.

Five minutes later, it was Dover who went agonisingly close to opening the scoring when Joe Healy’s thunderous strike cannoned into the underside of the bar before Aswad Thomas put the rebound wide.

Wood responded with Arnold going low to push away Danny Woodards’ strike before the Dover goalkeeper comfortably dealt with Jai Reason’s effort from the edge of the box.

Arnold was being kept busy and turned away Andrade’s fierce drive before he watched Matt Paine’s angled shot go across the face of his goal.

Dover’s goal came under threat again when Richard Orlu missed his attempted clearing kick and Arnold saved Davis’ shot with his legs 10 minutes before half-time.

Healy had the first chance of the second half, seeing his effort flying high and wide as he stretched to reach a loose ball in the Wood area two minutes after the restart.

But it was Andrade who finally broke the deadlock in the 56th minute.

He raced through to lob over Arnold after Jamie Grimes slipped while trying to get the ball back to his goalkeeper.

Shakes doubled the advantage 11 minutes later – in controversial circumstances.

Arnold appeared to have the ball in his hands after sliding out to save before Shakes’ challenged and then raced towards goal to score, despite the Dover appeals.

The hosts added a third in the 70th minute when Andrade slotted home after Shakes had beaten Arnold to a long ball over the top.

The ball fell kindly for Andrade and he did the rest.

It wasn’t long before Shakes heaped more misery for Whites.

He completed his hat-trick with two goals in three minutes after two lightning breaks from inside his own half as his side completed the double over Dover this season.

Earlier, Kinnear had to make two enforced changes to his starting side.

Emmanuel came in for the suspended Ricky Miller while Essam started in place of Nicky Deverdics after the Hartlepool midfielder’s loan spell ended.

Dover Athletic v Folkestone Invicta

JAMES Caton’s stunning strike sealed Dover’s place in the final of the Kent Reliance Senior Cup after beating neighbours Folkestone Invicta at Crabble on Monday night

Whites led 1-0 at half-time through Moses Emmanuel before Bondz N’Gala headed home his first for the club and Caton wrapped it up with a thunderous strike.

They were the first goals that the Ryman League Premier Division side had conceded in the competition.

The visitors started brightly and Ian Draycott tried his luck early on but blazed well over Mitch Walker’s goal from the edge of the area.

Dover responded with Ricky Miller’s free-kick curling past the upright after the striker had been felled by Samuel Beale inches outside the box.

The 30 goal hit-man, suspended for the next two games following his booking in the previous match with Solihull Moors, then laid the ball off for Mitch Pinnock, who struck a left-foot effort wide.

Tyrone Sterling headed over Emmanuel’s cross before Dover had three shots on goal in as many seconds.

Miller wriggled free of the Folkestone defence and saw his shot parried by Tim Roberts, Emmanuel’s follow up was cleared off the line before the rebound fell kindly for Caton to strike, but his effort was comfortably saved by the visiting keeper.

Emmanuel eventually gave Dover the lead in the 38th minute when he pounced on a poor back pass to run clear and fire past Roberts.

Draycott fired a free-kick narrowly over as Invicta went for an instant reply.

Dover continued to press after half-time and Pinnock’s delivery was headed towards Emmanuel by Connor Essam, but the striker scuffed his effort when well placed.

Whites doubled their lead 11 minutes after the break, when centre back N’Gala, one of two players from Saturday’s starting side playing, powerfully head home Pinnock’s corner.

Jordan Wright’s jinxing run and shot deflected just over before Draycott’s effort rolled just wide.

Miller blasted over James Hurst’s accurate centre and then smashed a volley just over the upright as Dover looked to make the game safe.

Hurst then headed Pinnock’s set-piece directly at Roberts as the home side continued to create chances.

Miller’s darting run and shot flew wide and Roberts did well to block Emmanuel’s shot after Caton’s pass put him clear.

Caton sealed the win in style after he evaded two challenges and smashed a shot into the top corner.

The contest may have been over, but the action continued right until the final whistle.

Walker saved Draycott’s volley before Hurst whistled an effort past the post and Essam had a header cleared off the line.

Boss Chris Kinnear’s side will play either Bromley, Welling or Charlton in the decider.

Bromley and Welling play their quarter-final tie on Tuesday, with the winner facing Charlton.

Dover Athletic FC v Solihull Moors

DOVER failed to score at Crabble for the first time this season after being held to a scoreless draw by Solihull Moors on Saturday.

Boss Chris Kinnear’s side remain fifth in the National League with the point but will have to do without striker Ricky Miller for two games now after he was booked for the 10th time in this campaign.

The National League’s top-scorer cut a frustrated figure as the game wore on and was booked for dissent with seven minutes to go.

And it wasn’t Miller who had Dover’s first effort on goal – it was defender Richard Orlu.

But his long-range effort sailed well over the bar of Nathan Baxter’s goal.

The young on-loan Chelsea goalkeeper showed good hands soon after, claiming a dangerous cross from Nicky Deverdics.

Ashley Sammons tried his luck from range for the visitors, with his effort whistling wide of Steve Arnold’s goal before Joel Kettle headed wide from a free-kick.

Another Deverdics cross was headed wide by Dover captain Jamie Grimes before Joe Healy saw his shot miss the target after his initial effort rebounded back to him off Shepherd Murombedzi

Baxter made his first of the day just after the half-hour mark, tipping Miller’s shot over.

Ricky Modeste then forced Baxter to scramble backwards to stop his cross dropping in.

Baxter was certainly the busier of the goalkeepers and he saved Aswad Thomas’ close-range shot with his legs following another dangerous cross from Deverdics just before half-time.

Ross Lafayette wasted little time in searching for an opener after the break, seeing his shot fly not far wide three minutes after the restart.

Sammons shot was comfortably saved by Arnold before Miller had a penalty claim waved away after he went down.

Grimes’ pass set Miller free, but the National League’s top scorer was unable to take the ball in his stride and Solihull captain Liam Daly cleared the danger.

Lafayette, who is searching for his first goal since the 4-1 win at Maidstone on New Year’s Day, almost ended that drought in stoppage time.

Baxter palmed his towering header over to deny the hard-working frontman.

Woking v Dover Athletic FC

DOVER’S four-game National League unbeaten run came to an end on a disappointing night at the Kingfield Stadium on Tuesday.

In what turned out to be a game of two halves, Woking won the three points thanks to Max Kretzschmar’s second-half tap-in.

Kretzschmar’s goal, which was Woking’s only effort on target, also ended Dover’s hopes of beating Woking for a fifth consecutive league game.

Despite the setback, boss Chris Kinnear’s side remain fifth ahead of Saturday’s clash against Solihull Moors at Crabble.

Fresh from Saturday’s 3-0 defeat of Eastleigh, Dover started well and a strong run from Ricky Modeste ended with his cross safely gathered by home goalkeeper Michael Poke.

The hosts first effort on goal saw a shot from Kretzschmar deflected wide before Joe Healy fired high and wide at the other end after being teed up by Nicky Deverdics.

Gozie Ugwu tried his luck from range but the effort from the Cards leading scorer sailed harmlessly over Steve Arnold’s bar.

Ross Lafayette dragged an effort just wide following good work by Healy, Modeste and Sam Magri.

Dover continued to press and it needed a stunning save by Poke to deny Healy in the 34th minute with the keeper tipping the midfielder’s fierce shot onto the bar before the ball bounced clear.

An unmarked Modeste should have given Dover the lead just before half-time, but he headed Aswad Thomas’ pin-point cross wide from close range.

Whites continued to dominate after the break and a Lafayette snapshot whistled not far wide a couple of minutes in.

Woking captain Ismail Yakubu headed against his own bar but after weathering the storm, the hosts should have scored.

Defender Terrell Thomas should have put his side ahead from a corner after he climbed high but his free header went over Arnold’s bar.

While Thomas gave Dover a let-off – Kretzschmar was not about to in the 66th minute.

Substitute Charlie Carter, who had only been on for three minutes, turned Jake Caprice’s cross into Kretzschmar’s path to leave him with the easiest of tap-ins.

Dover pressed for an equaliser, but the hosts held firm to move two places clear of the bottom four.

Earlier, Kinnear kept faith in his starting side from the win against Eastleigh.

The only change he made was on the bench where Eastleigh loanee Connor Essam replaced Jack Parkinson.

Parkinson has gone out on loan to Maidenhead United.

Dover Athletic FC v Eastleigh FC

RICKY Miller’s fourth hat-trick of the season ensured there was no happy return to Eastleigh for Richard Hill at Crabble on Saturday.

Caretaker boss Hill, who was in charge of his first game since Martin Allen’s sacking last Wednesday, could only watch as Dover condemned the Hampshire side to fourth consecutive National League defeat.

Miller struck in either half to take his league tally to 30 and 35 overall as boss Chris Kinnear’s side completed the double over the Spitfires to remain fifth ahead of Tuesday’s trip to Woking.

Home fans didn’t have to wait long to celebrate a goal – Miller opened the scoring after just three minutes.

Eastleigh goalkeeper Ryan Clarke parried Nicky Deverdics’ shot and predator Miller finished it off from close range.

Hill, who was in charge at Eastleigh between 2012 and 2015 and guided them to promotion into the National League before resigning, saw his side respond with former Dover loanee, central defender, Ayo Obileye, heading well over Steve Arnold’s bar.

Ross Stearn blazed over after being released by James Constable before Craig McAllister’s dangerous cross just failed to find an onrushing Tyler Garrett as Eastleigh looked for a quick reply.

Miller headed a Deverdics free-kick wide after the striker had been bundled over just outside the box.

But it was the visitors, who are are still searching for their first win of 2017, who came closest to scoring with almost the last kick of the first half.

Constable’s smart turn and half volley whistled just past the frame of Arnold’s goal.

Dover boss Kinnear was forced into making a change at half-time with Ricky Modeste struggling with a knee problem and he was replaced by James Hurst.

Miller started the second half as he finished the first, seeing an effort go wide before team-mate Ross Lafayette, playing against his former club, and wearing a bandage to protect a cut forehead from a first-half collision, saw an effort deflected away.

Lafayette then saw a couple of efforts saved by Clarke before both he and the goalkeeper played their part in Dover doubling their advantage in the 71st minute.

Miller found himself on the end of Lafayette’s clever chest down and Clarke let Miller’s half-volley slip through his grasp and roll into the net.

Eight minutes later, Miller completed his treble after robbing defender Adam Dugdale, who pulled up with a groin injury in the process, before curling past Clarke.

Earlier, Kinnear made one change with Eastleigh loanee Connor Essam not able to play against his parent club.

That saw Bondz N’Gala make his debut for Dover against his former club and he gave an impressive first performance in the heart of the defence.

North Ferriby United v Dover Athletic FC

JOE Healy and Aswad Thomas scored the goals as Dover came from behind to beat North Ferriby United and move back into the National League play-off places.

The bottom-of-the-ladder hosts opened the scoring through Curtis Bateson four minutes into the second half before Healy equalised six minutes later with his third goal in as many games.

Thomas completed the comeback to earn his side a massive three points, three that took boss Chris Kinnear’s side back up to fifth.

In a lively start to the game, Ricky Miller had the first shot on target in the fifth minute after he raced on to Connor Essam’s pin-point ball over the top from the back.

But Rory Watson saved his effort easily – and the young goalkeeper denied Miller again moments later – this time from the penalty spot.

Ross Lafayette was bundled over and Watson, on loan from Scunthorpe United, dived to his right to save Miller’s shot.

Reece Thompson, the hosts leading scorer, tried his luck from 25 yards and it needed a finger-tip save from Steve Arnold to keep it out.

Watson saved from Miller again before Lafayette just failed to get on the end of a Miller cross with the goal at his mercy.

Miller was proving to be in the thick of the action and it needed another Watson save to keep out a stinging effort from just inside the effort.

The home side forced a couple of back-to-back corners but neither called Arnold into action.

A Miller knock-down ended with Nicky Deverdics firing just wide from the edge of the box as Dover continued to go in search of an opening goal.

Miller’s run and shot ended with another save from the impressive Watson before Thomas hit the inside of the post with a cross with Watson beaten for once.

Ricky Modeste then had a shot deflected wide as the half ended.

While the first period ended with Dover threatening, it was North Ferriby who wasted little time in doing the same at the start of the second – and they made it count.

A stunning curling free-kick from Bateson beat the wall and Arnold to put his side ahead in the 49th minute.

Dover replied with Watson saving Jamie Grimes’ header from a Deverdics free-kick.

But Watson was finally beaten in the 56th minute.

He flapped at Sam Magri’s cross, the ball fell at the feet of Healy and the midfielder tapped home from close range.

Deverdics hit the side netting before Miller’s low effort beat Watson and rolled just past the post.

Dover hit the lead with another close-range effort courtesy of Thomas in the 70th minute.

Healy’s cross was headed back across goal by Magri and Thomas did the rest.

Earlier, boss Kinnear named an unchanged side from the draw against Wrexham at Crabble a week before.
