Dartford boss Ady Pennock says side now have luxury of dead-ball after signing midfielder Louis Dunne on two-month loan from Chelmsford City

Ady Pennock says Dartford now have a luxury of dead-ball options.

The in-form Darts handed midfielder Louis Dunne his debut in last weekend’s 3-0 Isthmian Premier victory at relegation-threatened Hastings after the 26-year-old joined on a two-month loan deal from National League South side Chelmsford.

While Dunne is useful over a set-piece, playmaker Samir Carruthers converted their first-half penalty - while boss Pennock also has other options at his disposal within that department.

“We have got some good options,” said Pennock.

“With Samir Carruthers, Sam Odaudu, Luther Williams, Louis Dunne and Tyler Christian-Law, we have got some good players that can put some good deliveries into the box.

“We have been working hard on them and, arguably, we should have scored from another set-piece on Saturday.

“Louis did really well. He has got a lovely left peg. His deliveries from set-pieces were quality.

“He tired a bit towards the end - we took him off after 80 minutes - but he did well.”

After Carruthers put the Darts ahead on 15 minutes from a penalty, won by midfielder Olly Box, substitutes Jeremiah Pinder and Eddie Dsane struck late to round it off.

Pennock reflected: “It was a good win. We had a good week, getting seven points out of nine.

“Saturday was a strong performance from start to finish.

“They hit the crossbar just before we got our penalty, and had a header, but that was about it.

“Olly Box played really well. He got the penalty for us and set up the second goal.

“What I was really pleased about was the substitutes coming off the bench and how they performed.

“Overall, it was just a good team performance. Coming away with three points was the most important thing.”
