Well done Darts! I hadn't realised that Lewes were not if form and slipping down the table, but we still have to beat the teams who face us. Nice to see my sponsor kit scoring. Well done Ollie, and Will Bass thought you would have been named MoM!! Good to see a clean sheet too, and from the commentary, we seemed unlucky not to have scored a few more.

Deserved the win today and nice to keep a clean sheet as well.

First half i thought we were the better side and rightly went in at HT ahead.
Second half we were under a fair bit of pressure for the first 10-15 minutes but when the second goal went in the result was never in doubt.

MOTM for me between Luther and Olly, both had decent games at either end of the pitch.

[KSTDART]

Where has that performance been all season ? The whole team played for each other and we deserved the 3 points .
Even the ref was good today so credit where credit is due .

Wow. I’d forgotten how to enjoy a Saturday afternoon at PP. And now two on the trot. Lewes were very poor though to be honest and looked like us (several times this season) with sloppy passing throughout the game. Jacob has come in for some stick so he’s getting my MOTM for two great saves when it was 0-0 and a brilliant clearance at the end which might’ve caused some serious angst had they scored. A narrow margin over Olly. Samir gets the sponsors MOTM. Were they watching his corners in the first half? Though he did run his nuts off in then second half.

[Matt85]

Much better performance.
Amazing what happens when you put Olly back in the 11.
No need for yussef to come back now either.
Onwards from here. Up the darts!!

Obviously a great result but the overall performance was excellent the keeper and defence were in great form. Luther ‘s covering was top class
Olly was a menace and different class throughout the game.
Jeremiah had his best game in a Dartford shirt
Motm Luther Williams
Terrible conditions but we made it look easy in the end
Although the crowd was down I felt there was a buzz from the fans for the first time in a very long time
Keep playing like this and the fans will come back

Good Performance and hit the woodwork twice, only 4 points off of play offs. Never 8 Hundred odd there, one of the smallest crowds I have seen at PP.

The crowd inside the stadium are always bloody fantastic imo.
It’s not always been easy and the support has been fantastic.
As for the (actual) attendance, it is very sad to see.

[Tony H]

A most enjoyable day made all the better by the result. Dominant throughout in my opinion.

With the possible exception of the Chatham game, I think that was the best performance of the season. Especially so when you consider the appalling conditions of blustering wind and horizontal rain. Darts were at it from the off and deservedly went in front thanks to Ollie Box, in my opinion, clearly the best finisher at the club. That said, both Ollie and Callum ran their socks off today and whilst Callum may be going through a lean spell as far as scoring goes, the fans will always back a guy with his work-rate and all round contribution. I'd start these two every week if it was up to me.

I was a little disappointed to hear the interview with Ade on the radio, where he said he was unclear about what the target was for this season. As far as I'm concerned the target is promotion back to National South and if it isn't, it bloody well should be. I appreciate it was always going to be one almighty task having to rebuild from scratch and it would certainly be very difficult, but supporters need to know that we're going for it. I guess Ade just doesn't want to put pressure on himself and the players, but as a fan I have to believe that we are at least targeting success, otherwise how on earth are we ever going to achieve any? Sometimes it does seem that our club has a bit of an inferiority complex and I just wish that we could hear a bit more positivity coming out of the club.

Anyway, the fact remains that we are now unbeaten 6 games in a row, 3 wins and 3 draws. The Erith game was okay, but I would say that Cheshunt, Potters Bar & Lewes were all very good performances, whilst Cray Valley and Hashtag were both poor, but we somehow managed to avoid defeat in both which is encouraging. No need to be driving through the town on an open top bus just yet, but it's encouraging and is a whole lot better than where we were just a few weeks ago. We just need to keep moving forward. I really enjoyed today's game, it was a lot of fun to watch. I went home soaking wet and freezing cold but it was well worth it. Looking forward to making the trip to Chichester on Tuesday night.

MOTM: Ollie Box
