It was honours even at Princes Park on Tuesday night as Dartford were held to a draw by Harlow in an entertaining Ryman League Premier Division game, .
First-half strikes from Harlow captain Mark Taylor and returning Darts favourite Jay May meant both sides had to settle for a point.
With key players returning, it was hoped that Dartford could put their recent lacklustre form behind them but despite starting brightly, they were behind after 15 minutes.
Jamie Coyle fouled Chris Ellerbeck 20 yards out and Taylor stepped up to curl the resulting free-kick around the wall and into the bottom corner.
It was all square 10 minutes before the break. May, on for the injured Rob Haworth, made it a dream return, heading home Jamie Day’s free-kick.
In Division 1 South, Sittingbourne's play-off push gathered fresh momentum after two goals in the first half saw them win 2-0 at Dulwich.
Rio Alderton gave Gary Abbott's side the lead in the 19th minute and Mark DeBolla's penalty doubled their lead just before half-time.
Ashford lost further ground, however, after they drew 1-1 at Chipstead - Paul Jones was on target for the Nuts and Bolts.
