    As it happens: Slough Town vs Dover Athletic

    Credit: Zak Rana

    85' Goal Dover. Equaliser out of nowhere for the visitors. Soares Junior whips in a low cross from the left and it's turned into his own net by Kiki Oshilaja! 1-1

    81' Dover trying to put the Rebels defence under a bit of pressure, but so far they've failed to create anything of note. 1-0 

    75' Dover force a corner over on the far side. It's well defended by the Rebels. 1-0 

    Another break in play for an injury to a Dover player. It's been that sort of game. Can the Rebels now defend or build upon this lead?! 1-0 

    Today's attendance is 690

    68' GOAL SLOUGH! The Rebels make the breakthrough in slightly bizarre circumstances. The ball from the corner is cleared to the edge of the area where Tyrique Clarke hits the ball into the turf and it bounces through into the bottom corner! 1-0 

    It looked like Makowski managed to get a touch on it to hook it home, but it seems the shot from Clarke bounced all the way in! 

    67'Great turn from Drakes-Thomas in the centre of midfield. He spreads it wide for Harvey Walker whose cross goes out for a corner. 

    65' Goddard has a go from outside the area but it flies over the bar. Are the home side running out of ideas here? 0-0 

    60' An hour gone. Slough continue to push but Dover are dealing with everything they've thrown at them so far. 0-0 

    55' Slough have looked much more of a threat, but they've just been let down by their final ball. Makowski has just seen another shot blocked away by the visitors. 0-0 

    52' Slough break quicky through Makowski but he holds up his cross and just delays it a second and Dover are able to cut the ball out. 0-0 

    49' A couple of half chances for Makowski and Drakes-Thomas but Slough manage to scramble the ball behind for a corner. Gidaree has also just raced to the  byline and beat his man before sending a cross whistling just past the post. 0-0 

    47' Harvey Walker cuts in from the left and flashes a cross come shot over the bar. Decent intent from the Rebels but the quality was lacking again. 0-0 

    46' We're ready to get underway again here. Jaiden Drakes-Thomas has replaced Ruben Shakpoke. Not sure if that is tactical or enforced. 0-0 

    Slough Town's players are back out  on the field. We're just waiting for Dover. 

    Goalless at half time. 

    Such a poor half of football. The Rebels had the best chances early on through Makowski and Shakpoke, and then later in the half through Gidaree, but it's been a poor spectacle, blighted by stoppages and injuries. 0-0 

    45' Still playing stoppage time here. Ruben Soares Junior has just gone close for Dover with an acrobatic effort over the bar from a corner. 0-0 

    45' Last minute of the half. Plenty of effort and endeavour but not a great deal of quality from either team. 0-0 

    And now another injury stoppage. Tyrese Dyce has hobbled off and down the tunnel. He's not yet been replaced so the Rebels are temporarily down to 10 men. He's been replaced by Dan Roth. 

    40' Five minutes to half time. It's not been the best of games. Slough have shaded it in terms of chances but they've not been able to take any of them. 0-0 

    35' The action has ebbed and flowed over the past five minutes. Gidaree has just had a super chance but couldn't poke the ball past Walker after the ball ran kindly for him in the area. The keeper made the save and was able to then get back and clear. 0-0 

    31' Driving run from Gidaree who then picks out Walker. Walker's low cross from the right is cleared under pressure by Dover. 0-0 

    28' Some space opens up for Bivesh Gurang and he has a strike at goal but it bounces through to Desbois. 0-0 

    26' Jacob Borgnis is down now after getting clattered in the middle of the field. He's being carried off so that's the end of his afternoon. He'll be replaced by Brian Nelson. Blow for the Rebels. 0-0 

    24' Play back underway and Slough are back on the attack. Goddard is looking lively in possession. He's just clipped an effort goalwards but it's comfortable for Walker. 0-0

    17' The free kick is floated to the back post and Desbois comes out and takes it easily. 0-0 

    Long delay while Desbois receives treatment now. he was knocked off balance after claiming that free kick and has stayed down. Hopefully this isn't too serious as he's been in excellent form for the Rebels. 0-0 

    15' Free kick to Dover. They are using their pace and power by putting balls over the top quickly for the  front men to get onto. De-Carry Sheriff took quite a whack there and is still down receiving treatment. 0-0 

    12' Dover with a long throw into the box. It's well defended by the Rebels who've been resilient of late. 0-0 

    9' Harvey Walker escapes away on the right hand side and races into the box. He shanks his cross a little but it nearly catches out Walker at his near post. 0-0 

    7' CHANCE! Another decent opening for Slough. Shakpoke again gets clear but he can't guide the ball past Mitch Walker who saves well. Makowski then had another half chance on his left foot which was blocked. Good start from the Rebels 0-0 

    6' CHANCE! Ruben Shakpoke surges into the area on the left and pulls the ball back for Wiktor Makowski but his close range effort is blocked behind for a corner! 0-0 

    5' This has been a well contested match so far. No quarter given.  But few chances of note so far. 0-0

    1' Slough have kicked this game under way. Desbois launches the ball forwards for Harvey Walker but it bounces out of play. 0-0 

    The players have just walked out, are shaking hands in the middle. Dover are all in light blue or teal. 

    The players are in the tunnel, the young flag wavers are on the pitch - we're just minutes away from kick off. 

    Scott Davies said this week he hopes the Rebels to close the season out strongly. He doesn't want it to finish with a  whimper. 

    These sides couldn't be much closer this season. They sit 15th and 16th, are level on 42 points and have the same goal difference (-4). Slough have played one fewer game. 

    And here's how visitors Dover line up

    Here is the Rebels line up for today's game with Dover. Player manager Scott Davies not quite yet fit enough for a return to action

    Slough Town welcome Dover Athletic to Arbour Park this afternoon looking to get back to winning ways in the National League South. A run of seven wins in nine matches lifted the Rebels well clear of trouble at the bottom of the table, but they're now without a win in three after draws against Horsham and AFC Totton and last weekend's 4-1 defeat at Worthing. They showed encouraging fight and character to come from behind for a 1-1 draw with a really great goal from Reiss Greenidge at Totton on Tuesday and Davies will be hoping his side will build on that at home today
