BARNET have recalled defender Daniel Leach from his loan spell at Crabble, just 24 hours after agreeing that the 24-year-old Australian could stay at Dover Athletic for another month (writes Matthew Clements).

The Coca-Cola League Two club have concerns over the fitness of experienced international centre back Gary Breen, 36, this weekend and have therefore requested that Leach returns to Underhill with immediate effect.

Midfielder Joe Tabiri, also on loan from the Bees, has not been recalled and is available for all remaining fixtures, including the play-offs.

A statement issued by the Kent club on www.doverathletic.com said: “Dover Athletic would like to thank Daniel for his outstanding service to the club over the past two months, and Barnet manager Ian Hendon for the loan of two talented young players this season.”

Andy Hessenthaler will therefore look to Dean Hill, Jake Leberl or Craig Cloke to fill the gap alongside Olly Schulz for Whites' final league games and play-off campaign.

The Whites can confirm their place in the Blue Square South play-off’s with a win over relegated side Weymouth at Crabble tomorrow.

WELLING UNITED, who welcome Eastleigh to Park View Road tomorrow, are pleased to confirm that the Blue Square South player-of-the-month award has gone to Lee Clarke.

The striker propelled the Wings with seven goals in six appearances, including four in two matches against Weymouth.

The Wings will travel to Ryman League Division One South side Folkestone Invicta on Thursday, 22nd April, for a place in the Kent Senior Cup final up for grabs.

Cray Wanderers welcome Sittingbourne to Hayes Lane next Tuesday, 13th April in the other semi-final.

Sittingbourne defeated Tonbridge Angels at Longmead Stadium last night, winning 3-0 on penalties after the game finished all square at two-apiece after extra time.

RAMSGATE are opening their gates for their next home game, against play-off chasing Godalming Town next Tuesday, 13th April (7:45pm).

Jim Ward’s side, who travel to Chipstead tomorrow, are presently sitting in a disappointing 12th place in the Ryman League Division One South table, and vice-chairman Paul Jefcoate explained why the club, based at Southwood Stadium, Prices Avenue, are letting in fans for free.

“This is a show of thanks to our supporters in what has been a hugely transitional season and also to welcome any new supporters,” he told www.kentishfootball.co.uk today.

ERITH TOWN have confirmed that their annual presentation night will be held at the Erith Stadium on Saturday, 24th April.

The bash will follow the Dockers last Kent League game of the season when Hythe Town visit the Avenue Road ground.

A meal and a DJ will make up part of the evening when the club awards are given out and tickets, priced at £15, are on sale at the home game against Erith & Belvedere tomorrow.
