Dartford 3 Tonbridge Angels 1
18:30, 24 September 2011
Goals from Elliot Bradbrook, Danny Harris and Charlie Sheringham fired Dartford to a 3-1 home win against Tonbridge Angels.
It was a sixth straight home win in this Blue Square South for Tony Burman's side against Dartford.
Bradbrook (pictured) opened the scoring after 11 minutes when he found himself on the end of a clever ball across from Sheringham, who had turned the visiting defence inside out.
Almost 1,400 enjoyed another lively display from the hosts at Princes Park and Harris’ volley on 64 minutes doubled their advantage in spectacular fashion. Sheringham once again played a part in the build-up, hooking the ball over the top for Harris to latch on to with style.
Having provided the opening two, Sheringham then found himself on the scoresheet after 77 minutes. He slotted calmly into the bottom left-hand corner past Tonbridge keeper Lee Worgan.
Jon Wallis conceded a late penalty and picked up a yellow card when he fouled substitute Chris Henry in the area. Frannie Collin stepped up to pull back a late consolation for Tonbridge with four minutes remaining.
The defeat leaves Tonbridge in 16th, but Dartford take a two-point lead at the top after second-placed Woking slipped up with a goalless draw away to Dorchester Town.
