Dartford cruised through to the second round of the FA Trophy with victory at Brackley Town on Saturday.

The Darts bossed the opening exchanges against the Evo-Stik Southern League Premier Division title-chasers, but saw Danny Harris limp off after a heavy challenge inside the opening 15 minutes.

It was not until six minutes before the break that the visitors opened the scoring after Brackley were penalised for handball in the box and Elliot Bradbrook (pictured) stepped-up to convert from the spot.

After the break Richard Graham saw a shot tipped wide by the Town keeper Billy Turley, before Jacob Erskine doubled the Darts lead shortly before the hour.

Good work from Graham and Lee Burns set-up Erskine who lashed into the net from 20 yards to all-but seal Dartford's passage into the next round.

It was 3-0 just three minutes later when Burns brought the ball down and fed Erskine, who sent Turley the wrong way to put the result beyond doubt.

Darts secured £5,000 of prize-money and a place in the hat for Monday's draw.
