Dartford confident ahead of facing FC Halifax in FA Trophy, says Tom Bonner
by Steve Tervet
Defender Tom Bonner believes Dartford’s big-game experience
will stand them in good stead when they look to take a step closer
to Wembley on Saturday.
The Darts have been handed a tricky FA Trophy quarter-final
clash at Blue Square Bet North promotion hopefuls FC Halifax
Town.
While the tie represents a voyage into the unknown for Tony
Burman’s side, they have already tamed fiercer opponents on the
road this season.
Wins at Cambridge United, Grimsby and Luton, as well as a 2-2
draw at the home of Blue Square Bet Premier high-fliers Wrexham,
have filled Bonner and his team-mates with belief.
The 24-year-old said: "We’ve been doing well away from home
against the big teams. We’re confident going into the game and
we’ll treat it like we were playing Luton or Grimsby.
"We know it’s difficult for the away team, so we’ll need to be
right on our game and take any chances that come our way.
"We haven’t played them but know what to expect. They’re only
one division below us and we certainly won’t take them for
granted."
