Dartford's unbeaten home record will face a severe examination on Saturday when Blue Square Bet South leaders Bromley arrive at Princes Park.

Bromley’s perfect start to the season – with seven wins from seven matches – finally came to an end at the weekend when they were held to a 1-1 draw by St Albans.

Mark Goldberg’s side have made the sort of storming start which Dartford produced last year en route to the Ryman League, Premier Division title.

Darts boss Tony Burman (pictured) said: "To be honest, I think everybody has been surprised at how well Bromley have started but good luck to them.

"They are where they are on merit and now it’s up to the other clubs to knock them off their perch."

He added: "If we can beat Bromley it will give us the big lift we need after last Saturday and hopefully there will be another big crowd inside Princes Park to help us do it."

Burman expects to receive a specialist’s report this week on Billy Burgess’s dislocated shoulder but otherwise the Darts have a clean bill of health.
