Match Report
As has been the norm over the last few years, Charlton fielded their development squad and were still good enough to make the Final. Two years ago when Tonbridge reached the Final they were met with a Charlton team that were really quite outstanding and whilst respecting that Dartford are at a higher level than the Angels, this particular Charlton side didn't carry quite the same quality.
Dartford took a 20th minute lead when the hugely impressive Elliott Bradbrook fastened onto a poor clearance following a corner to hook a half-volley into the net.
It didn't take long for the south Londoners to level the score. A cross from the left was spilt by the goalkeeper and Josh Umerah was on hand to tap in from close range.
Second half chances were very much at a premium until ten minutes from time when two quick goals sent the Cup the way of the non-leaguers. Ronnie Vint touched home after Charlton made a hash of clearing a Ryan Hayes corner and three minutes later a good run and finish from Ben Francis wrapped up the game.
Have to use my best joke about south London-based Charlton's participation in the Kent Senior Cup is that most of the Valley Express bus stops are actually in Kent, reason enough!
