FC Halifax Town 2-1 Dover Athletic

  • Published

Halifax kept their National League promotion challenge on track with a comeback win over rock-bottom Dover.

The Shaymen, who are now unbeaten in five league matches, closed the gap on third-placed Wrexham to a single point.

Dover, who have won just once all season, stunned the hosts by taking a 10th-minute lead through Alfie Pavey.

But in-form Halifax levelled the scores five minutes before the break as Billy Waters collected the ball before turning and firing past Adam Parkes.

The home side completed the comeback on 69 minutes when Waters turned provider, firing in a ball from the left which Matty Warburton slotted home.
