Dartford manager Tony Burman says the club's board is eyeing a TV appearance in the Second Round after emerging victorious from the Kent derby at Bromley.

The hosts went into the break a goal to the good thanks to Louis Dennis's cool finish before the floodgates opened in the second half. Goals from Danny Harris, Ryan Hayes, Elliot Bradbrook and Tom Bradbrook sent Burman's men through.

He said: “I'm very pleased with that result.

"It was a typical FA Cup tie played on a typical FA Cup pitch, but both sides did well on it, and to play in front of more than 4,000 people is a credit to the supporters of both of us.

“The pitch was soft before play started and then it rained, which made it worse. Maybe that's why a few of the goals came from set pieces and corners!

“Bromley is a great club and I know lots of people there, but it was great to get the win today because they beat us in The FA Cup a few years back and went on to play Leyton Orient. We want to do something similar.

“Although it's just the luck of the draw, it would be brilliant to get the chance to play at home against somebody we haven't faced before.

"It would be amazing to get the chance to show off our stadium on the television so everybody can see how lovely it is. That thought will keep our board and accountants happy tonight.”
