Dover tonight will aim to build on their weekend draw when they host Worthing in a rearranged match.

Whites, 15th in National League South, will welcome the fifth-placed Rebels to Crabble for a fixture (7.45pm kick-off) which was originally subject to a late postponement on Saturday, December 10.

Mitch Brundle’s troops played out a goalless stalemate at Hemel on Saturday while Worthing won 3-0 against second-placed Dartford.

“It was a good point against Hemel, although we felt we deserved more,” said Brundle, ahead of his first home match since he replaced Andy Hessenthaler as the club’s boss on a permanent basis.

“We have got Worthing. They’re another good side.

“But hopefully, we can put in the same sort of performance and, hopefully, score as well. I think that’s the only thing that’s missing at the minute.

“We’re building nicely.”

New recruits Jack Paxman, David Boateng and Josh Ajayi started at Hemel and could be in line to make their respective home bows.

European darts champion and local lad Ross Smith will be in the Centre Spot, prior to kick-off.

Smith will also be signing a shirt and a set of darts, which will be used in a raffle.
