Two smart finishes by Josh Hill and Tyrique Hyde helped Dartford to a third straight win in National League South on Saturday.

It means Steve King's side are joint-top of the table, alongside Maidstone.

The first goal arrived inside seven minutes when a long free-kick into the penalty area saw neat footwork by captain Tom Bonner set up Josh Hill, whose right-foot shot was too good for keeper Charlie Grainger.

Although James Dayton nearly levelled, Darts had a good chance to double their lead on the half-hour when Jack Jebb sent George Porter clear but Grainger was able to thwart him as he tried to go round the keeper.

Ade Azeez and Danny Leonard both had chances in the second half to double the lead while substitute Dan Roberts had a goal ruled out for offside.

The points were wrapped up in the 90th minute when a right-wing cross was never cleared by Tyrone Sterling and Hyde showed great feet to move the ball and fire home from close range.
