Dartford's quest to make it eight matches unbeaten in Blue Square Bet South was undone as they were blown away 4-0 by Hampton & Richmond Borough at Princes Park on Saturday afternoon.

A weary-looking Darts were guilty of a lack of urgency in the first half, despite Carl Rook (pictured) going close early on, firing just over on the turn after Lee Noble had nodded down a cross from Danny Harris.

Hampton took the lead when the hosts failed to deal with a corner from the right on 24 minutes and centre-half Dean Wells toe-poked into the corner from 12 yards through a forest of legs.

Ian Hodges added a second six minutes before the break when he got onto the end of a long ball forward and slotted past Deren Ibrahim.

The third arrived within a minute of the second half starting when Nathan Collier's cross was controlled by Lawrence Yaku who spun and fired low past Ibrahim.

Harris saw a header from a Noble corner easily held and it was 4-0 on 50 minutes when Dartford went to sleep and Yaku headed in unmarked at the back post.

Francis Quarm hit the post as Borough sought a fifth but the hosts could not find a way back, though they remain 15th.
