Dartford boss Tony Burman has targeted a six-point haul when his side travel to Farnborough on Saturday before a home game with Staines next Tuesday.

The Darts remain third in Blue Square Bet South but closed the gap on leaders Welling to two points after beating Eastleigh at Princes Park on Saturday - their fourth straight home win.

Burman (pictured) said: “We want to be beating teams like these, Eastleigh, Basingstoke and Farnborough. They are full-time and have got some decent results but we have to go for those games against teams who are below us in the table.

“We have got to be better than we were (in their last away game) at Basingstoke, and if we’re able to take the lead then hopefully we’ll be able to hold onto it this time.

“The players were very disappointed with that result and to have given the points away so cheaply. We want to put that right.

“Hopefully we’ll have the chance to get the ball down and play because we can cause teams problems away from home.”

Elliot Bradbrook sat-out the Eastleigh game on the bench with a rib injury, Burman explaining: “The longer he plays with it the more difficult it gets to breathe. We had him on the bench incase we needed him for 15 or 20 minutes but we were able to do without him.

“Hopefully the more rest it gets the better it will be and he should have a chance of starting on Saturday.”
