Margate v Dartford

Dartford boss Tony Burman insists league positions go out the window as they head to Margate on Saturday in the Ryman League Premier Division.

It is another Kent derby as the race for play-off places hots up and Burman knows that they can take nothing for granted.

"They are tough games when you play anyone in this league but with a Kent derby I feel that league form goes out the window," said Burman.

"It's a one-off game and Margate won at Princes Park earlier in the season.

"I feel that sometimes so many Kent derbies can hinder you. It's an advantage to other teams that we have to play so many derbies.

"They are difficult games but they are good games to be involved in and it's great for the fans as well."

Margate underlined their recent upturn in form when they led 4-0 at Canvey on Tuesday night before a power failure forced the game to be abandoned with eight minutes left.

Burman added: "It's going to be a tough game anyway but Margate have given us a really good warning. They got a great 'result' at Canvey."

Darts picked up no injuries in the midweek draw at Hastings but Ryan Hayes and Danny Dafter remain sidelined.
