Dover Athletic's Chris Kinnear hails "dream draw"

Chris Kinnear says that Conference side Dover Athletic are delighted to have drawn Crystal Palace in the third round of the FA Cup.

Dover Athletic manager Chris Kinnear has spoken of his delight after seeing his side drawn against Crystal Palace in the third round of the FA Cup.

The Conference Premier side pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the second round when they beat Cheltenham Town and Kinnear is hopeful that they can cause another shock against the Eagles.

"It's a great draw. As a non-league team, we're looking for a Premier League team and it should be a great day," he told BBC Sport.

"I'm absolutely chuffed. It's a dream draw. It will certainly be a sell-out, with at least 6,500 people there and I imagine it will be on television. It will bring everyone in the area together."

Dover last reached the third round of the cup in 2011, where they were eventually knocked out by Huddersfield Town.
