The Dart(s) Board

St Albans City have announced that manager Ian Culverhouse and his assistant Paul Bastock have left the club to join another club (rumoured to be King's Lynn). The club in question was asked out of courtesy if they would not approach Ian and Paul until after St Albans FA Cup First Round tie against Burton, however this request was ignored and Ian and Paul were given a deadline to reply. Culverhouse and Bastock have decided to leave City due to a variety of reasons including travel and these new roles being full time positions.

Folkestone slip up last night but Brentwood are surging on and are not looking a flash in the pan.

Garry Kimble has left Witham Town to become the new manager at Canvey Island.

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 early in the second half. We should beware of their long throw-ins when we meet. Eventually the 5th in NLN hosts who I think are full timers got going, but it took a rebound from a keeper's fumble and an unstoppable worldie deep into extra time to put them out.
Surprised that there no replays now at this stage, and that it was segregated and so much drinking and smoking on the raucous terraces. A good watch for a neutral Kentish Dart now in Derbyshire.

Ramsgate manager Ben Smith has resigned.
