Tonbridge host Dartford this weekend with both teams in much better shape than their previous meeting. The Kent rivals made relatively slow starts to the National League South season but are now in play-off contention.

Angels boss Jay Saunders and opposite number Alan Dowson have led their sides into the top half, and sit three and four points off the top seven respectively.

Darts edged a dour game 1-0 at Princes Park in September but the return game at Longmead on Saturday should be a better encounter. “It’ll be an interesting one,” said Saunders. “When we went there earlier in the season I think it was a time when both sets of supporters wanted me and Dowse out and now we’re both looking at trying to get in the play-offs, so it’s been an interesting few months. “Both teams are in good form.

He’s made some good signings, so have we, and both teams are in a different place to where we were when we played each other before. “It was a nothing game at their place.
