Dover v Harrow

Dover Athletic make their return to the Ryman League Premier Division on Saturday after a three-year absence with a home game against Harrow Borough.

And manager Andy Hessenthaler, whose side won 3-2 at Whitstable last Saturday thanks to goals from Shaun Welford (2) and Sammy Moore, said: "I have generally been delighted with the way our pre-season has gone, but Whitstable may have been one friendly too many and I had to give the players a bit of a blast at half-time to get them going.

"But now we are finally getting under way and I hope the fans are looking forward to it as much as I am."

Hessenthaler expects centre half Ollie Schulz to make his competitive debut on Saturday after missing the Whitstable game with a tight hamstring, but two other players, Matt Fish (shoulder) and Lee Browning (ankle), are rated as only ‘50/50’ chances by the manager.
