Skipper
Elliot Bradbrook inspired Dartford to a fourth straight win with a
double in a 3-1 win at Hampton & Richmond Borough in Blue
Square Bet South on Saturday.
It was the hosts who took the lead inside eight minutes through
James Simmonds after some hesitant defending, but from then-on
Dartford assumed control.
Tom Bonner responded by having a shot parried away and the home
keeper also kept out a stinging Jon Wallis drive, while Wallis sent
another chance inches wide of the post.
The visitors got their reward for their dominance when Bradbrook
(pictured) sent a looping header into the net from a Wallis
free-kick on 27 minutes.
Lee Noble was forced off before half-time after a heavy
challenge, with Ryan Hayes replacing him, and moments later Danny
Harris saw a shot blocked on the line by a combination of a
defender and the Borough keeper.
Wallis screwed another chance wide before his deflected cross
was headed wide by Jacob Erskine on the stroke of half-time.
Bradbrook recorded his second with a stunning strike just
seconds after the interval, unleashing a shot into the net from 30
yards.
Connor Essam headed a Hayes cross over before the clincher
arrrived on 50 minutes when Erskine converted another cross to make
it 3-1.
James Rogers went closest to a fourth before the end but Darts
made it five league matches unbeaten and are 14 points behind
leaders Woking, who lost to Salisbury, but have three games in
hand, the forst coming against Staines on Tuesday.
Do you think Dartford can catch Woking?
