FRANTIC FINISH AS ALF KEEPS WHITES IN

IN ONE of the most incredible finishes ever seen in an FA Cup tie in Kent, Dover Athletic somehow snatched a draw in stoppage time to deny Sittingbourne a place in the next round.

For 90 minutes there was only going to be one winner as the Brickies dominated. They led through terrific strikes from Henry Sinai and Ryan Kingsford and looked to be cruising before that most astonishing finale.

As so often when stoppage time is elongated – there was an incident in the crowd – drama ensued. The first Dover goal was a freak goal: keeper Mitch Walker hit a long free kick that bounced through the box, hit the underside of the bar and went in.
