The Dart(s) Board

Popped over to watch Buxton v Chatham in the F A Cup. The few hundred vocal Chats supporters should be proud of their team's spirited effort, with a tight passing game and lots of possession on the plastic pitch, but not many clear attempts on goal, apart from a fine strike to take a deserved lead ...

I was curious too, hoping for at least one small cup run. The draw shows 16 matches so I guess that's the final number of matches to compete the knock out stages. It looks like there are 7 Premier teams not taking part.
Would have been nice to know. Maybe one less humiliating defeat though!

Agree completely Paul. When we moved here 2 years ago we'd just finished a season where we could have been promoted via playoffs to play Chesterfield 12 miles down the road. Then we went into free fall and now 3 leagues apart instead of one. Not impossible to be 5 apart after this season.
So sad ...

F A results suggest they played last round at Potters Bar. Didn't think their new ground was ready yet.
Previous round they beat Ware 5-1 away.

I generally find that Live Ticker on the Isthmian League website provides quick and accurate updates to scores, yellow and red cards as they happen for all of their matches and leagues.
Otherwise Flashscore as others have suggested.

Desperately looking for positives, I sees that the 4 teams below us all lost, so we stay just outside the relegation spots! And we have the F A Cup Draw on Monday (I assume) to distract us for a few days from the massively disappointing start to the league campaign. It's got to get better!

Positive intent with 3 strikers. Nervous anticipation as we start my 65th season following the Darts with a little more optimism than some of the recent ones. We'll soon find out.

Up the Darts!

Enfield in Southern League Central so a step down, or Enfield Town in National South so a step up from last season. Suspect its the latter.

Getting up in Vanvouver to cheer us on over breakfast. Could we be heading off to Torquay and maybe Dag & Red next season or be left with the delights of Brentwood, Burgess Hill and maybe Uxbridge!
Come on you Darts!

Phew!

Thank you Clare.

Little to add; a poor first half as it was v. Folkestone, but quite a good stirring comeback with subs looking to impress. A well worked goal for George (who scored in all 3 games I've seen this season) and it looked like an equaliser from where we stood, but guess it must have gone wide or ...

Hugely disappointing having been champions for about 8 minutes. So it comes down to goal difference but to be joint top on points is still quite amazing considering where we were in mid-November, 12th and 14 pts behind Dover (yet Horsham were 15th then).
Train was already booked for Saturday, so ...

What a lovely post! Keep it going you Darts, especially with Horsham one down at Bognor.

Hold your nerves lads, only 3 more to go. Well done to everyone there today.

Back from a family and friends visit down south, with an excuse to get to my second match of the season. Good to be there and see improvements to food hubs (although I don't go to eat), but difficult to say that I enjoyed the game. We must obviously have been playing better to justify our top ...

Enjoy your day out down south Paul. My turn next week.

Thank you Eddie. Enjoyed that,with the goals making it look all too easy.
Roll on next week when I plan to be there to see the league leaders!

Good news to settle the anxieties. Keep going you Darts

Sweet inspired?
