MATCH PREVIEW: DOVER V CONCORD RANGERS

Dover will be aiming to extend their unbeaten run to six games in the National League South when they host Concord Rangers at Crabble on Tuesday (7.45pm).

Andy Hessenthaler’s side came from behind to earn a point against visiting Farnborough on Saturday thanks to Alfie Pavey’s penalty.

The Beach Boys arrive in Kent after losing 3-0 at Hampton & Richmond on Saturday in what was new manager Rob Small’s first game in charge.

In the squad for the Essex side are three players who have played for Dover in their careers including former Crabble favourite, Ricky Modeste.

The Grenadian international made close to 200 appearances for Dover in two spells before leaving at the end of the 2019/20 season.

Forward Ben Williamson played 25 games for Whites before leaving for Concord last January while Danny Green made three apperances while on loan from Dagenham & Redbridge back in 2012.
