Darts match for Marine

FIFTH in the Southern League Premier South hosts third in the National League South when Swindon Supermarine entertain Dartford in the second round proper of the FA Trophy today.

Supermarine charged into the second round with a 5-0 win at Winchester last month, while last Saturday they were 2-0 home victors over West rivals Yate. The Darts, meanwhile, were on a fine run of victories until going down 3-1 at Farnborough last time out.

Elsewhere, Bath City return to action for the first time since Alex Fletcher was hospitalised with a serious head injury. The Romans are away to Billericay, who play one level below their visitors.

Another side on the road against lower-division opposition are Chippenham, who make the journey to Hastings United, while Hereford have an away tie against Heybridge Swifts, who play two tiers down from the Bulls.

Gloucester City, meanwhile, have an all-National League North clash at Kettering. The Tigers are comfortably ahead of their opponents in the league, but have lost their last four games.

And two seemingly wellmatched teams meet in Somerset as Taunton host Dulwich Hamlet with the clubs lying 17th and 20th respectively in the National League South.
