Concord Rangers 6 Dartford XI 1

Pre Season Friendly, Wednesday 31st July 2013

The beachboys welcomed a Dartford XI to Aspect Arena this evening in their latest pre season fixture.   The first half was a very competitive and even affair with few chances but as the half wore on the home side started to assert their authority on their Conference Premier opponents and on 38 minutes took the lead when Hallett's header was headed off the line via the bar but Stokes was on hand to poke to ball over the line for 1-0.   The second half was totally dominated by the beachboys as they went further ahead on 53 minutes through Hallett from close range and then it was 3-0 on the hour from a great Hallett header.   Concord made some changes after this to give more of their squad some match time.   4-0 came on 77 minutes through Osborn after he capitalised on some defensive lapses to lob the ball over the keeper and it was 5-0 on 82 minutes from the penalty spot, which was scored by defender Glozier.   Dartford did pull a goal back on 85 minutes after a goalmouth scramble but Concord completed the scoring right on full time with a great strike from the edge of the box by Osifwu.  It was another complete performance from the home side who must be taking great confidence from this pre season.
