Ryan Hayes added another spectacular goal to his collection when Dartford completed the double over Luton in Blue Square Bet Premier at Princes Park on Tuesday.

Hayes, pictured, cut in from the right and curled one of his trademark shots into the far corner with 19 minutes remaining.

Darts manager Tony Burman said: "It’s fantastic. It’s a dream come true. The guys worked really hard, especially on the back of (Saturday’s) defeat away to Lincoln.

"It was a wonderful goal. Ryan’s done that for six or seven years on a regular basis. Once he comes inside, you think that’s what he’s going to do.

"I’ve got to give Ryan credit because he’s been fairly consistent over the season. We wondered whether he could do something at a higher level and we think he can. It was an outstanding individual goal."

Dartford enjoyed the best first-half opportunities. Tom Bonner headed a Hayes free-kick over the bar and Elliot Bradbrook and Collier both had shots blocked before Adam Green saw his effort pushed round a post.

After the restart, Luton threatened sporadically although JJ O’Donnell’s header at Marcus Bettinelli, from a Scott Neilson cross, was the best they could muster.
