Dover Athletic 2 Woking 2

DOVER'S second draw in three days moved them off the bottom of the Conference table last night but is unlikely to prove enough to save them from relegation.

Whites led at half-time through leading scorer Keith White's first goal for over four months, but Woking, themselves in serious danger of the drop, struck back with two goals from striker Charlie Griffin after 49 and 63 minutes, with the second a superb curling effort into the top corner from 25 yards.

Dover however, are not short on spirit and with six minutes left substitute Dave Bathgate snatched them a point with his first touch after coming on for Scott.

Whites manager Clive Walker said: "We obviously needed to win tonight, but I can't fault the lads' spirit and effort, it was tremendous again, and we have just got to aim for nine points in our last three games now."
