Dover Athletic boss Jake Leberl reacts to their comeback 3-3 National League South draw against Hampton & Richmond Borough in front of crowd of 2,834 at Crabble

Manager Jake Leberl was thrilled to see Dover’s substitutes make an impact in their home draw on Saturday.

Kenny Coker got an injury-time equaliser as Whites shared the spoils from a six-goal National League South game against fellow early high-fliers Hampton & Richmond Borough.

Forward Craig Fasanmade put Alan Julian’s visitors into a 2-0 lead by half-time with a brace.

In-form Dover striker Ruben Soares-Junior got one back and, although midfielder Harry Gardner netted a fine Hampton & Richmond third, Decarrey Sheriff set up a grandstand finish for Leberl’s troops on the club’s first community day this season.

And fellow home substitute Coker came up trumps in front of a huge attendance of 2,834 at Crabble.

The goals scored by summer signings Sheriff and Coker were their first competitive ones for Dover.

Leberl reflected: “It's a point gained with how the game went, isn’t it?

“But I did feel that we were coming into it. They were dropping like flies.
