Vs AFC Wimbledon (Friendly) [24.7.2021]
DARTFORD 1 AFC WIMBLEDON 0 After registering a 3-1 victory over Carshalton Athletic FC in midweek, Dartford returned to hosting another League One side in their pre-season workouts. On this occasion, the visitors to Bericote Powerhouse Princes Park on a much cooler afternoon was Mark Robinson's AFC Wimbledon. Unlike the two previous encounters with League One opposition, the Darts secured a hard-fought victory courtesy of a superb George Porter strike in front of 868 supporters. With the visitors creating the bulk of goalscoring opportunities in a tight first forty-five, it was the hosts who went in at half-time with a 1-0 lead. The goal came in the 21st minute after good work from Steve King's side, which resulted in Noor Husin collecting the ball. He then sent a brilliant pass out wide to George Porter, who cut inside from the left-flank and sent a beautiful curling effort into the top corner. Besides the goal, the hosts found it difficult to break down a stubborn Wimbledon defence throughout the first-half. In fact, only Ade Azeez looked the most likely to do so before Porter's goal. The striker beat the defenders to get himself on the end of Connor Essam's pass in the fourth minute, only to be caught offside. Five minutes later saw him at it again, as he got through and looked odds-on to open the scoring. Unfortunately a superb, last-ditch tackle by Dan Csoka prevented Azeez from pulling the trigger. The only other meaningful opportunity for the hosts was created by Noor Husin as the game approached the 45th minute. -

F SOLID GOLD MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY The Ultimate Rags to Riches Tale Forward by Robin Pilley David Gold, Chairman of Ann Summers, Gold Group International and West Ham United, is a man who has risen from humble and poverty stricken beginnings and achieved a status in life beyond what even he could have ever envisaged. Born an East End Jewish cockney lad, he was at the very bottom of life’s social strata. After a childhood characterised by war, poverty and disease he set out to change his life, and in the process he also changed the lives of everyone close to him.

Slough Town 2 Dartford 2 [5-6 on Penalties]
SLOUGH TOWN 2 DARTFORD 2 [5-6 ON PENALTIES] Jacob Berkeley-Agyepong and Moussa Bakayoko both scored, as Dartford came from behind to clinch a draw at Arbour Park. The Darts then sent Slough Town crashing out of the Buildbase FA Trophy 2nd Round in a thrilling penalty shootout. Thrilling certainly isn't an appropriate word used to describe the first forty-five of this game, however. In fact, scrappy is more suitable, as both sides failed to gain any firm grip on proceedings. That being said, though, the Darts looked the more comfortable when in possession of the ball, as they passed it around calmly and confidently. Unfortunately, the more they probed for an opening, the more the attack came up against a stubborn Rebel defence. The first real opportunity for Steve King's side didn't materialise until the 22nd minute, and it was the tireless midfielder, Jacob Berkeley-Agyepong, who attempted it himself. Unfortunately, his central shot was saved by goalkeeper Jack Turner. There would be another effort from the visitors, but it didn't arrive until the 35th minute, when David Ijaha collected the ball before running through the entire midfield with it! Sadly, his long-range shot wasn't as impressive as his run, and the ball flew high and over the top. As for the hosts, it's fair to say that they looked more positive at first, as their direct play opened up more options. Paul Hodges saw his shot blocked by the Dartford defence as early as the fifth minute, before a Guy Hollis long throw found Ryan Bird, who sent a header wide of Ethan Wady's goal (15). -

DARTFORD 0 HARINGEY BOROUGH 1 Dartford's Hopes of Progressing
DARTFORD 0 HARINGEY BOROUGH 1 Dartford’s hopes of progressing further in the Buildbase FA Trophy were dealt a hammer blow, as a last-minute goal sent Haringey Borough through in a rather lacklustre game at Bericote Powerhouse Princes Park. French Winger Nassim L'Ghoul, who has signed from National League side Bromley, was thrown straight into the starting eleven for the game, as his new manager shuffled the squad a little. This wasn't a game that will remain in the memory for long, unfortunately, as goal-scoring opportunities were few and far between. And neither side were able to summon any kind of rhythm during the opening exchanges, as they both struggled to gain control. In fact, it took until the 23rd minute for the hosts to register an attempt on goal. Luke Allen, starting just his second competitive game of the season, was the player who tried his luck, shooting over Jonathan Miles' crossbar from distance. The effort did light a little spark in the Darts though, and they should have taken the lead two minutes later. Debutant, L'Ghoul was guilty of not hitting the target on this occasion, as he arrived in the box to get on the end of a terrific ball after some neat passing play from the hosts. Unfortunately, he couldn’t quite direct his back-post header towards the goal. There were some periods during the first-half where the Darts passed the ball well, and one such moment should have resulted in the opening goal with two minutes of the half remaining.
