Match Preview
New worries for Gills Gillingham have to cope with several injuries for the FA cup first round clash with Dover. Midfielder Mark Bentley has been ruled out of Saturday's game with a slight fracture to a foot and is likely to be occupying the sidelines for around three weeks. Chris Palmer took a knock in the 2-0 defeat to Wycombe on Tuesday and is a slight doubt to face the Whites, while goalkeeper Lance Cronin could return to the squad if he recovers from a foot injury in time. Curtis Weston remains sidelined with a thigh injury and trio Danny Jackman, Mark McCammon and Andy Barcham are all unavailable with ankle injuries. Andy Hessenthaler, the Gills manager, needs a win against his former team to ease the pressure after the Gills dropped down to 20th place in the league after two successive defeats. Martin Hayes, the Dover boss, will be without midfielder Nicky Nicolau for the trip. Nicolau was sent off against Farnborough for two bookable offences in the fourth qualifying round and is now suspended for the Priestfield Stadium clash. Striker Elliott Charles is nursing a hamstring strain and defender Tom Wynter is aiming to shake off an ankle injury.

Match Report
Gills crash out to neighbours Adam Birchall inspired Dover Athletic to a famous FA Cup upset as the Blue Square South side stunned Kent neighbours Gillingham 2-0 at Priestfield. Birchall scored the opener and had a hand in the second as former Dover boss Andy Hessenthaler's League Two side went crashing out. The hosts made a bright enough start with both Danny Spiller and Chris Palmer testing Dover keeper Ross Flitney. But as the half progressed the non-leaguers grew in confidence and Elliott Charles flashed a header wide after 13 minutes. Five minutes later Athletic took the lead, Birchall twisting and turning before unleashing a 30-yard strike into the top corner. The Gills were in disarray and the visitors doubled the lead 10 minutes later, Luke I'Anson tucking home the rebound after Harry Baker's shot had been parried by Alan Julian. In the second half Gillingham applied all the pressure only to find the Dover defence and keeper Flitney in fine form. The league side's misery increased after 70 minutes when John Nutter was dismissed for clipping Baker as he closed in on goal.
