The National League South team took a lead over the side from the league above when Bates latched onto a ball and lashed in from outside the box (14).

The Whites doubled their lead three minutes before the break in carbon-copy fashion after Bates decided to have another crack from outside the box and rifled into the back of the net.

Dover were not content with two and they pushed for more; Sak Hassan and Ruben Soares-Junior saw chances come and go, but nevertheless booked their spot in the next round.
