Cup specialists Dover Athletic progressed through to the third round of the FA Trophy thanks to a late strike from substitute Ricky Modeste.

The game with Havant & Waterlooville had looked set for a replay until the super sub slotted home from a pass from fellow substitute Jake Reid.

Dover had the better of a quiet first half with striker Stefan Payne having the best chance, toe-poking an effort wide seven minutes before half-time.

Tom Murphy also had an effort tipped over from range, as the sides went into the break goalless.

Dover almost gave away a goal at the start of the second half when a poor backpass from Richard Orlu let in a Havant striker one-on-one, but keeper Andy Rafferty did brilliantly to deny him.

Dover hit back through Tyrone Sterling, but his shot was straight at the home keeper.

Murphy then dribbled through the home defence before seeing an effort tipped over as Dover started to apply good pressure.

Modeste then set up Murphy with a fine cross, only for the midfielder to be denied again by the home keeper.

And when it didn't look like being Dover's day, Reid blocked a Havant clearance before setting up Modeste to secure the win four minutes from time.
