Dover Athletic’s Blue Square Bet South play-off hopes were
severely dented after a 4-0 defeat to arch rivals
Dartford at Princes Park on Monday.
A brace from Charlie Sheringham alongside goals from Tom
Champion and Danny Harris secured the win and bragging rights.
The hosts opened the scoring on 24 minutes when a Lee Noble
corner was met by Sheringham and his header flew
past Ross Flitney. Champion doubled Dartford's advantage
just before the hour and Dover fell 3-0 behind three
minutes later with Harris’ delicate lob.
Dover's Adam Birchall had a chance to reduce the deficit,
but was denied by Darts keeper Andrew Young, and the home
side completed the rout when James White’s flick header was
directed past Flitney by Sheringham for a fourth goal 12
minutes from time.
The defeat for Dover leaves their play-off hopes hanging by a
thread as they are three points behind fifth-placed Chelmsford City
ahead of their final league game of the season against St Albans on
Saturday. Dartford are three points behind 10th-placed Bromley.
