DARTFORD'S tortuous trek to Harrow on Tuesday was followed by a trouble-free hike to Waltham Forest but the outcome was the same.

The Darts have hit the road 18 times in the league and captured full points 16 times.

Stattos will be able to tell whether there is a league record for away wins in sight for the Darts but the title is more important than records – and Dartford have already pocketed that.

Football is a funny old game and last night proved that adage.

Waltham Abbey were at least as good as Harrow Borough but lost comprehensively.

As at Harrow the Darts had to wait almost to the break for the opener but it was worth the wait.

The writing was on the wall as early as the 11th minute when the Darts had the ball in the net but the effort was rejected for offside.

On 42 minutes, however, the Darts won a free-kick just outside the home penalty area, on the right.

Up strode James White who smashed home an unstoppable right-footed shot.

Soon after the break a left-side cross from the wing to the far post was headed home by diminutive Lee Noble.

Thereafter Tony Burman rang the changes with the Darts coasting to victory. John Beales for ever-present Adam Gross, Ryan Hayes for James White and Lee Burns for Allan Tait, which left Adam Flanagan and Elliot Bradbrook unused.

A foul in the home penalty area enabled Carl Rook to end his goal drought with a well-taken spot-kick on 80 minutes and the evening was rounded off by top-scorer Lee Burns four minutes later.

Dartford: Young, Burgess, Gross (Beales 53), Coyle, Johnson, Shinn, Noble, White (Hayes 55), Tait (Burns 69), Rook, Harris. Subs not used: Flanagan, Bradbrook. Att: 273.
