The Match
This promises to be a stern test for Steve McKimm's travelling Millers as they take on the Whites. Both sides are unbeaten in their past nine league games, Dover winning eight and one draw with Cray Valley winning six and three draws. The two sides faced each other at the end of October in the Kent Senior Cup, see below, but both line ups will look rather different on Saturday. It promises to be a compelling watch, hope to see you there!
