Dover Athletic manager Andy Hessenthaler serves touchline ban as Whites host Maidenhead in the National League

Andy Hessenthaler will serve a ban during Dover’s home match against Maidenhead on Saturday - but he has no regrets about his actions.

Debutant forward Jack Nelson and midfielder Luke Baptiste were among the youngsters to impress, while playmaker Koby Arthur scored Whites’ goal before the Linnets hit back.

Hessenthaler enthused: “The boys were terrific. We had six Academy players in the 16, which was pleasing - three started and three were on the bench.

“In the end, we
