Dartford boss Tony Burman looking forward to derby clash with Ebbsfleet United in Blue Square Bet South

Tony Burman says his Dartford side will be going all-out to
earn their supporters the bragging rights when they welcome
Ebbsfleet for a huge derby clash at Princes Park on Saturday.
A crowd of up to 4,000 is expected for the all-ticket clash in
Blue Square Bet South and Burman hopes his side can build upon
their opening win of the Blue Square Bet South campaign on Tuesday
night.
Burman said he and his players were relishing the chance to
take on their neighbours – who were relegated from Blue Square
Premier last season - in front of a packed house.
He said: "I’ve watched Fleet and they are a decent side and we
are not 100 per cent right yet.
"There is a lot of history between the clubs and there will be
bragging rights up for grabs for the supporters.
"It is good for Kent football and I’m sure it will be the
biggest gate of the day in the league but there are still only
three points to play for."
With a trip to Chelmsford also looming on Monday afternoon,
Burman said: "It will be a big weekend for us with two big games.
If we can get something from both games, I’d be well pleased.
"Obviously you want six points but you have to be realistic, we
have only won one game. They are both good teams. It is a difficult
week ahead."
Elliot Bradbrook could return against Fleet after a hamstring
strain but James White is likely to miss out with a similar
injury.
Can Dartford get one over against their old foes? Have
your say below.
