Dartford face another stern test this weekend when full-time Lincoln City visit Princes Park aiming to continue their good start in The Skrill Premier.

Tony Burman’s side are looking for their first home points since the opening day of the campaign, while the Imps are sitting fifth with 10 points.

Three straight home wins have fired Lincoln up the table, although they have yet to score on the road this season.

Darts boss Burman, buoyed by victory on Bank Holiday Monday, is focused on the challenge ahead.

He said: "We’ve had a good result at Tamworth and we end up facing Lincoln, who have had a great start to the season.

"They’re a professional, ex-League club, so they don’t come tougher. It’s a big test for us but we’ll do the best we can."

Dartford’s selection options have improved this week following the return from injury of defenders Matt Fry and Tyrone Sterling.

The pair are not yet at 100% fitness but Burman said: "They’re getting there. It was Matt’s first game for a couple of weeks (on Monday) and Tyrone’s second in three days."
