Manager Andy Hessenthaler believes that his Dover Athletic squad is already strong enough to bid for successive promotions in the Ryman League Premier Division next season.

The Crabble club wrapped up the Ryman League Division 1 South title with a 1-0 win over Burgess Hill on Saturday in front of a crowd of 1,154.

And a delighted Hess said afterwards: "The majority of the players in the squad are without a doubt good enough to step up to the Ryman Premier.

"With a few additions during the summer I really think we can have a good go at achieving back to back promotions."

Hessenthaler took over Dover at the end of last season after they had suffered two successive play-off disappointments and he said: "I felt quite emotional at the end (on Saturday) because I know what the fans here have been through over the past few years.

"They have been fantastic this season, and I can't thank them enough for the support they have given me and the players."

Dover have three games left to play and Hessenthaler's target is to win all three which will take Whites over the 100-point total for the season.
