Dover Athletic manager Andy Hessenthaler fears he will be without four 'big players' for Tuesday night's Blue Square South play-off semi-final first leg at Woking.

Jon Wallis (calf), Frannie Collin (groin) and Matt Fish (knee) are all definitely out, while Moore is rated as only 50/50 by Hessenthaler (pictured), who said: "They have all been big players for us this season and to be without all four would leave us right on the limit, but we've been up against it before this season and come through and we can do it again tonight.

"The key is that we keep it tight and don't leave ourselves with too much to do at home, but it won't be easy because Woking are full time and so they will have prepared properly for the game."

Whites fans are unlikely to need reminding that, although Dover finished three places above Woking in the table, they lost both their league meetings against the Surrey side 2-0.

The second leg is at Crabble on Saturday, with the winners meeting Chelmsford City or Bath City in the final.
