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.
