Dartford boss Tony Burman says his side could have mounted a serious play-off push in Blue Square Bet South this season if they had found their form a few weeks earlier.

Darts moved into the top 10 and above free-falling long-time leaders Bromley after beating play-off chasing Woking 3-2 at Princes Park on Saturday.

Darts have now won three consecutive matches and 10 of their last 18 league games, losing just twice.

Burman (pictured) said: "We are playing with confidence and with no real pressure on us. I can’t give the players enough credit for how things have turned around.

"Woking are a good side and have been on a fantastic run. They just started off a bit before us otherwise we might have been up there with them.

"If we had started this run earlier who knows where we’d be. I think we had 15 or 16 points and were in the bottom three in January.

"If only it had been 25 or so things might have been different but it wasn’t to be."
