Manager Andy Hessenthaler believes Dover still have a "massive chance" of reaching the Blue Square South play-off final despite Tuesday’s 2-1 semi-final first leg defeat at Woking.

Saturday’s second leg is sure to draw a bumper crowd to Crabble and Hessenthaler (pictured) said: "Considering the amount of injuries we’ve got, I was delighted with the way we played (at Woking), and I feel we have given ourselves a massive chance of progressing to the final.

"In the changing room after the game there was a great belief among the players that we could do it on Saturday, and I know the fans will give us all the backing we need."

The eventual winners will meet Bath or Chelmsford in Thursday’s (May 6) final. Bath won 2-0 at home in the first leg of their semi-final.
