We were good today in both half's but for completely different reasons.
First half we played some great football reminiscent of our early season form and deservedly went in at the break one up courtesy of a great strike from Jack Jebb.
Second half Weymouth had a real go at us but we defended well and when they did get an opportunity Dan was in great form in goal to deny them.
Every player played a part today and our performances have been getting better for the last few weeks so optimistic we can go on a good run again.

Tough game as expected but through to the next round and another £5k in the bank so a good day all round.

I thought first half ref tried to let the game flow but second half he got quite a few decisions wrong and looking forward to seeing the match highlights as at the time i thought Ade's disallowed goal looked ok.

MOTM, i had Jack Jebb ahead at HT and he also had a decent second half but gave it to Dan for his impressive display.

Great result today. I’ve done a curveball and voted Robinson for MOTM; Wilks was incredible in goal but Jake’s runs and general play on the ball set the pace especially in the first half which put us on the front foot.

Room for improvement but it’s encouraging to see us play well against at least the bottom end of NL.

Looking forward to the draw. An easy one to see us into the QF would be good but 5 or 6 northern teams in the hat plus other potential treks in Notts C and Wrexham! Hope we don’t get Morpeth away 👀

First half was like the good old days at the beginning of the season we deserved to go into the break at least 2 up. Second half Weymouth looked a different side and it was all hands to the pumps to keep them out, Dan Wilkes was brilliant. We had a couple of breakaway chances we did not take to kill them off. Home to Bromley or Tonbridge would be nice and avoid a long trip to Wrexham or York.

The Darts played well first half and deserved to go in at half time ahead . Second half they battered us for most of the 45 , but with stout defending and a goalkeeper (who in my opinion should be playing at a much higher level ) pulled off an incredible save to keep us in the tie , but that said we still could of grabbed another goal or two on the break , and the goals that were disallowed for offside were very marginal if at all ? So on to the next round and hopefully another home tie ; doesn’t matter who we get now because all teams are going to be tough to beat at this stage including Needham Market , another so called little club from Suffork who have now knocked out both Wealdstone and Yeovil of the NL to get this far .

A very much-improved performance and against higher-level opposition with everyone chipping in, especially from a defensive perspective in the second half. Good to see that Cobra Kai has hit the ground running and he looked a threat all game and it was his run into the box that resulted in our goal, which Jebb took really well. Standing just to the right behind the goal, it looked like the ball was initially going wide but the sidespin (Magnus Effect) managed to evade the keeper's hand and sneak inside the post. Also, a mention to Kieran, who had his best game in a DFC shirt since early season but my MoM goes to Dan, who caught everything and that save in the second half was reminiscent of Bettinelli's.

The trophy has been a welcome distraction from the bread & butter of the league and long may it continue. I'm quite happy to settle for a draw against the lowest placed team remaining in the competition but I think we will end up being paired with Boreham Wood. Looking forward to the draw tomorrow on TalkSport2 at 3.15 pm.

Any news on Noor Husin's injury?
Dart of Herts, yes, a nice easy one into the QF's. Like AFC Sudbury you mean?
Let's hope we carry on the improvement for the NEXT game.
COYD's :roll: :D

The FAT hasn’t got the allure of the old days but we are well into this now. 8 National sides out too. Any home draw will do but if it’s away, Morpeth will do eh

The match was a microcosm of the season so far with half-time representing the Sudbury game. Two halves that were so different it was hard to believe we were watching the same two teams. I think the same could be said about the officiating as the ref we had first half was doing a decent job but he seemed to have been replaced by a very poor substitute in the second.

Darts were scintillating first half and probably deserved to be further in front, but then it's nobody else's fault that we missed those chances so ultimately I guess we can't complain and the 1-0 half-time lead was was exactly what we had earned. By the same token though, Weymouth may have dominated most of the play in the second period, but they were unable to break down our resolute defence and even when they did, Dan Wilks once again proved to be an impenetrable barrier. And despite Weymouth's territorial dominance in that half, the fact is that Darts could easily have nicked a goal or two and put the result beyond doubt.

In the end, the result was a fair reflection of the game and it was a decent scalp. The first half performance was the best football we've played since those magical early season games and the second half gave our defence the chance to show just how good they can be when our backs are against the wall.

Steve King's post match interview was very fair. All things considered, this was a very good performance.

My MOTM (for the second game in a row) was DAN WILKS.

Just watched the highlights and it looked a good performance but obviously the highlights don’t show the bad bits as well which sounds like it was the second half.
An excellent result all the same and into the next round we go. From looking at the video it looked a very tight decision as to whether Jake was offside or not when he scored but it definitely looked as though Ade was played onside by the Weymouth fullback and Ade just out run him on the outside to score what should’ve been a perfectly good goal.
As for that challenge on Jebb which the referee waived play on, from the video footage it looked a clear red card as the guy jumped in studs up on Jack. He should’ve been having an early bath, disgraceful decision by the referee.
An excellent strike from Jebb to score the winning goal of the game.

Some more top quality superb saves from Dan Wilkes as well to keep Weymouth out and win us the game.

Well Done Darts let’s keep up the 1st half performance for 90 minutes now.
