ACADEMY START WITH DRAW

Matty Robinson scored twice as Dover Academy started their National Youth Alliance League campaign with a draw against visiting Bromley in Faversham on Wednesday.

Coach Mike Sandmann’s Academy opened the scoring after Robinson (pictured) slotted home Jordan Bartlett’s pass after Ryan Kingsford had won the ball for his team.

Dover held their lead until after half-time when Bromley struck twice.

Sandmann’s side continued to create opportunity after opportunity but couldn’t make that pressure pay until man-of-the-match Robinson got on the end of Marshall Wratten’s defence-splitting pass to equalise.
