MATCH PREVIEW: BATH CITY V DOVER

Andy Hessenthaler’s squad makes the long trip to Somerset on Saturday aiming to bounce back quickly from the disappointment of Tuesday’s National League South defeat against Concord Rangers at Crabble.

Bath drew 2-2 at Havant & Waterlooville on Wednesday with former Dover defender Josh Passley scoring a 97th-minute equaliser for the home side.

The point sees Bath start Saturday’s game in sixth place, seven points ahead of Whites.
