Dartford boss Tony Burman says the fact that his side are aiming a top 10 finish in Blue Square Bet South shows how dramatic their turnaround has been.

Darts endured a hard start to life in Blue Square Bet South, spending much of the season in the bottom six. However, over the past nine games they’ve risen from 20th to 12th and have realistic hopes of overhauling ninth-placed Bromley – who topped the table at the start of the campaign.

After a 2-2 draw at Basingstoke on Saturday and Tuesday’s goalless draw with play-off hopefuls Eastleigh, Burman (pictured) said: "Who would have thought a few months ago that we’d be closer to these top teams than the bottom of the table?

"Getting into the top 10 is a big priority for us and it is there to be had over our last 10 games."

Burman added: "Eastleigh were a difficult team to play against and even though you want to win your home games, a point was probably the right result. Neither side gave anything away."

Darts are 12th after a run which has seen them average almost two points a game over the past 13, with only one defeat in that spell.
