The Dartford keeper was a replacement for their first team keeper who broke his arm in a recent game. So Dartford fans told me.
Anyway, the boys done good ! What an excellent finish to a somewhat worrying season.
Many thanks to all, and hope we can keep the team for next season.
I shall have a glass of celebratory Wincarnis now.....

26 points from the last 12 league games is an incredible achievement for a team that most people thought was dead and buried. I must admit that in February I thought we wouldn't be good enough to stay up, but over the last few weeks we've been too good to go down. A truly heroic run -in ! Congratulations to those responsible for saving the season. Let us hope we can build on it for next season.

Well, I take it all back. The chairman was right all along. Sort of.
We took 20 points from the LAST ten games rather than the first.
But seriously nothing more to be said except well done everyone - from top to bottom at the club, everyone has played a part in securing survival. Three months ago it looked impossible but an inspired appointment and a complete buy-in by the players has made it possible.
Brilliant.
Hopefully now they will have a great summer and carry on in August where they have finished off.

Great interview with the gaffer there. He's been a joy to listen to.
I really hope he stays and can keep the bulk of the team together and add a few. I don't want to get carried away but I do think with Allinson in charge there is cause to be optimistic and look upwards rather than down.
It's a tough league, money is a huge factor and we'll have to see which clubs come up and down but if Hemel can mount a surprise but credible bid for the play-offs so can we.
But Allinson knows this division and clearly knows how to organise a team.
A crowd of 1,300 shows the potential too.
