So after a trio of cup successes amongst a run of 6 games unbeaten, it's back to the bread and butter of league football and the visit of bottom of the table, Billericay, who by contrast have lost their last 6 league matches. However, they did hold Maidstone to a draw in last week's FA Trophy game before losing narrowly on penalties. People will probably think this should be an easy game for table topping Darts, but I think that would be very foolish. This league is so competitive that anyone is capable of beating anyone, especially if teams approach a game with a complacent attitude. Dulwich Hamlet are up there with us at the top end but they lost at home to Billericay, so it might be worth remembering that on Saturday. Things are going well again but we must not take our foot of the pedal. We need to be ruthless.

Let's all get behind our lads and see if we can match or better the fantastic atmosphere we created for the Oxford game. The young lads behind our goal can be a little over boisterous and need a bit of guidance at times, but boy oh boy, they can certainly create an atmosphere!!! Be good and keep banging that drum fellas. Saturday can't come soon enough. COYD.

Billericay's league position means nothing. I seem to remember one season we were flying and Ricay were in a similar position and we had them at home. We lost 1-0.
So, heads up lads. Looking forward to seeing this.

Dartford look to maintain their place at the top tomorrow against the team at the bottom. Match preview now available at https://puredfc.co.uk/

Missed my only game of the season against Bath last week so itching to see the lads in action tomorrow.

If we get 1000 through the gate it would be very good imo as this time of year attendances drop off a little.

Agree with Spike that atmosphere was great against Oxford so hopefully we can recreate that again and help the lads gain three more valuable points.

Will be a tough game but aren't they all.

COYD

do we have bt sport now?

I know this is nothing to do with our club or even football other than showing a sign of support at today's game... Birmingham are playing at Millwall this afternoon and both sets of supporters are planning a minute's applause on six minutes to respect little Arthur Labinjo-Hughes murdered by his scum parents, thought it would be a nice touch for us and other clubs to do the same but need to spread the word.

Team:-
Wilks
Clarke Meade, Bonner, Vint, Essam
Husin, Murtagh, Hyde
Robinson, Azeez

Subs:-
Leonard Porter, Kedman, Roberts Wanadio.

Some ex Darts in the bench for Riccay:-
Norman Wabo
Bagasan Graham
Decision Carvalho

1 nil, goal machine Jake Robinson.

I believe attendance 1156, that's really good for this time of year.

Porter on for Hyde.

Sub:-
Roberts for Robinson.

FT 1-0

Steve Kings post match interview on radio Kent was one of the most honest i've ever heard. I'll try and post the link later, well worth a listen.
