Leatherhead v Dover Athletic

DOVER Athletic prepare to welcome back long-term injury vicitms Craig Cloke and Daniel Braithwaite for this evening's Ryman League Division 1 clash at Leatherhead.

Whites had a blank weekend, but the extra few days break since their last fixture has given manager Clive Walker a larger squad from which to choose.

Both Cloke and Braithwaite were injured in the notorious match against Dartford on October 15, but made their return to first team action in last Monday's friendly draw wth Margate.

Danny Chapman, Craig Wilkins and Sam Vallance are also set for a return to the side after minor injuries.

However, captain Lee Spiller starts a two-game suspension, with Shane Hamshare and Dale Skelton coming into the reckoning to replace him.

Walker said: "We'll go there and try to win it. They were always going to be a threat. That's quite an old club with a good tradition. They've had terrific cup runs over the years and have always been a strong unit."
