Striker Andy Pugh returns to the Dartford squad for Tuesday night's local derby against Welling.

The former Wings player has been struggling with an Achilles problem and hasn't started a game since September 6 but he came through a training session on Monday.

He'll be added to a Darts squad buoyant after coming from behind to win 2-1 at Nuneaton on Saturday.

But their hosts will be equally confident, having returned home from Altrincham at the weekend on the back of a fantastic 4-0 win. Welling go into Tuesday's game one point and two places above their local rivals in the Vanarama Conference.

Dartford manager Tony Burman said: "I'm all in favour of local derbies, especially with the amount of travelling we have to do.

"Both teams had good results on Saturday and we're looking forward to going to Welling. It's another game against a team in a similar position to ourselves.

"It's nice to go into the game on the back of a win, but being a local derby, it doesn't matter where you are in the league. People want to get the bragging rights and it's always a good atmosphere."

Dartford will again be without Lee Noble, who has damaged ankle ligaments.
