Dartford cruised into the third qualifying round of the FA Cup courtesy of a comfortable win over 10-man Harrow Borough at Princes Park on Saturday.

The Ryman League, Premier Division visitors faced an uphill struggle from the moment Danny Leech saw red in the opening minutes after a nasty challenge on Ryan Hayes.

Adam Green sent a free-kick narrowly over but it did not take long for James Rogers to open the scoring on 10 minutes. Charlie Sheringham (pictured) controlled a pass and crossed for Rogers to slam home the opener.

Two minutes later and it was 2-0 as Danny Harris latched onto a ball over the top, before slipping in Elliot Bradbrook to fire home.

The tie was over as a contest on 23 minutes when Sheringham was on hand at the back post to head in a deep corner from Hayes.

Although the visitors hit the underside of the bar when well-placed before the break, Darts added a fourth moments after the interval when Tom Bonner pounced to convert another Hayes corner.

Hayes and Sheringham went close before substitute Jon Wallis teed-up the fifth for Lee Burns who flipped the ball over the keeper and into the net inside the last 20 minutes.

Darts secured £4,500 for the win and a place in the hat for Monday's draw from Wembley.
