Dartford FC can go top of the Isthmian League Premier Division at Princes Park on Tuesday night. The Darts host Whitehawk at 7.45pm, and the club’s own match preview says a single point would be enough.

They go into the game level on 18 points with the top two, after a 3-0 win at Leiston on Saturday. That was their first FA Trophy win since January 2022.
