Dartford won their FA Cup replay 2-0 and host Hayes & Yeading United at Princes Park at 3pm on Saturday 19 September. Winning is worth £3,375 to the club.

Dartford are through to the second qualifying round of the FA Cup, and the next tie is at home on Saturday.

The Darts beat Westfield 2-0 at Princes Park on Tuesday 8 September, in a replay of a 1-1 draw in Surrey three days earlier. Max Fiddes scored on 15 minutes for his fourth of the season. Dan Smith made it two on 64, seconds after coming on as a substitute. (Dartford FC match report)

The Isthmian League’s own account credits the cross for the opener to player-manager Ben Greenhalgh, and lists Dartford among six of its Premier Division clubs to win replays that night. (Isthmian League, 9 September 2026)

Tyler Ibe took the man of the match award. Ryan Sandford kept another clean sheet.

The Westfield tie was Dartford’s first match in this season’s competition. Their results list shows nothing in the cup before 5 September, so they came in at the first qualifying round rather than through the summer’s preliminary stages. (Dartford FC results)

League form going into it was four wins and two defeats from six: away at Three Bridges and Maldon & Tiptree, at home to Brentwood Town and Chatham Town, with losses at home to Welling United and away at Burgess Hill Town.

Next: Hayes & Yeading United, Saturday 19 September

The Football Association’s fixture schedule lists tie 49 in the second round qualifying as “Westfield or Dartford v Hayes & Yeading United”. Dartford settled that on Tuesday, so the tie is at Princes Park. (The Emirates FA Cup second round qualifying fixture schedule, PDF)

  • Kick-off: 3pm, Saturday 19 September
  • Ground: Bericote Powerhouse Princes Park, Grassbanks, Dartford DA1 1RT (Dartford FC fixtures)
  • If it is drawn: the replay is at Hayes & Yeading on Tuesday 22 September, which their own fixture list already carries (Hayes & Yeading United fixtures)

Hayes & Yeading play a division below Dartford, in the Isthmian League South Central Division. Their fixture list marks their league games “IL1SC” and this one “FA Cup 2Q”. Westfield are in the same division, so Dartford meet a second South Central side inside a fortnight.

What the round is worth
