Jamie Coyle’s second half header earned Dartford a point in a 1-1 draw against Carshalton in the Ryman League Premier Division at Princes Park on Saturday.

Coyle (pictured) headed home Ryan Hayes’ corner in the 57 minute to level against opponents struggling at the wrong end of the league table.

Tony Burman’s side had not played a league match for three weeks and looked a bit rusty throughout the game.

Carshalton had taken a surprise lead on the stroke of half-time when a cross fell to Richard Jolley who made no mistake.

Despite dropping two points, Darts increased their lead at he top of the table to 12 points after second place Hastings lost 2-0 at Billericay.
