MATCH PREVIEW – DOVER VS MAIDENHEAD UNITED

Manager Andy Hessenthaler’s squad is back in action at Crabble for a second consecutive weekend when they host Maidenhead United at 3pm on Saturday.

LAST TIME WE MET

Two first-half goals from Sam Barratt and Josh Kelly secured all three points for the hosts at York Road last August.

In what was our first game of the season after Covid in our squad, Kelly headed home Barratt’s cross in the 14th minute before Barratt double the lead four minutes later.

Andy Hessenthaler’s side piled on the pressure but found goalkeeper James Holden unbeatable.

Holden, who was named Man-of-the-Match, produced stunning saves to deny Reda Johnson and Jake Goodman.

LEADING SCORER

 Josh Kelly leads the way with 13 goals in the National League this season.
