With the Sheppey constantly pounding the Dover line the lads tackled valiantly thro out the match, good set pieces and a chip up field from Philips and then pass inside on the five to lee an fin saw the first try go over for Dover.
Half time eight nil,
Second half Dover always on the upper hand and Sheppey constantly infringing dovers good play giving numerous penalties and verbal to the ref spoilt there game plan if any,But still a tough side with there charging runs and flamboyant fly half could not penetrate dovers good defence line.when Dover got to work on attack and down the line the backs had a good run and some how tow smith turned up for a inside pass from Levi so him run 30 metres or so to score dovers other points no conversion.
Winger Henson got through the line but limberly dropped the ball over the line with embracement, may be next week.Good work rate from all the squad and again man of match Morrison showed good form running straight to the heart on many sorties, with back up from all,good line out work from Dowie and new jumper Kember found his wings for the first time, catching good ball when needed.A good hard fought match by all pleased the management.
