Dartford looked to bounce back from midweek defeat against Potters Bar Town as they welcomed Canvey Island to Princes Park. The Gulls had lost both of their opening matches so will have been rather desperate to get some points on the board, but the Darts had other ideas. Sam Odaudu opened the scoring just after the hour, Christian Tyler-Law got a second twenty minutes later, and Dartford are sixth- and nine unbeaten against the Gulls, although there has been almost a decade and a half between this meeting and the previous one.
