    Having watched the game,
    , to be fair Dover were lucky not to go in at least 3-0 down at half time
    only poor finishing by Corby saved Dover.

    Certainly the second half saw a more evenly matched game
    end to end.
    The first goal came from what looked like a foul on the corby player, the ref didnt agree and Dover broke away to score
    this caused eruptions of cheering in the stands where Dover were celebrating, what followed was something i havnt witnessed at dover football games home or away.
    Supporters of Corby who were in the same stand started to rush the dover supporters and to fight them.

    A small number of dover supporters reacted and a battle took place, bottles and other items being thrown.

    the second half off the pitch became very tense with both supporters goading each other, but having seen the situation calm i have to say i was ashamed to see a mature dover supporter(late 50's/60s) run with a dover flag in front of the corby fans to goad them, a stupid move.

    Dover did score again and the play was end to end, and dover did look good to hold on to the win.
    that it until the ref indicated 3 minutes of injury time, soon after that corby scored making it 2-1
    and in the dyeing seconds could have equalised.

    Final score

    CORBY 1 DOVER 2

    Dover should feel happy they are in the hat in maybe circumstances that they were fortunate, but sometimes you ride your luck, and today earnt Dover £18,000.

    As for the referee, i feel the ref did no better or worse than other officials iv seen at crabble, i feel she missed a few challenges that might have taken the heat out of the game, or maybe a few bookings, but like i say no worse or better than other officials iv seen at dover games.


    I will watch the corby web site over how they feel it went and there take on the violence
    it appears no one doubted the whole thing stated by corby fans surging towards the dover fans and a small minority fighting.

    there were police at the ground at the end and a helicopter.


    we should be thankful though Dover is in the hat for the next round
