Dartford turn their attentions to the FA Trophy with a trip to Southern League Division 1 side Ashford Town (Middx) on Saturday.

Tony Burman's side have lost four Blue Square Bet South games in a row and will be looking to end that poor form in the cup clash.

Burman said: "Normally it would be a welcome distraction for us but this season the cups seem to have interfered with the league.

"The most important thing for us is to try and get three points from our next league game but we’d like to get a win in the Trophy because if we do we’re through to the last 16."

Elliot Bradbrook, Joe Bruce and James White serve one-game bans, Danny Harris (thigh) and Tom Champion (head) are both likely to miss out but Lee Burns (flu) should return and John Beales could be on the bench.

Burman said: "I didn’t have any defensive cover on Saturday and John was unattached so I asked if he’d come and sit on the bench for us. I’ll be talking to him again and we’ll see what happens."

Burman also confirmed the departures of Ollie Berquez and Michael Shinn.
