By Josh Cole
The ‘Gate are back at Hartsdown Park tonight for our fourth pre-season friendly as we welcome National League South side Dartford FC!
‘Gate suffered a first defeat of the 2023/24 pre-season campaign away to Herne Bay losing 2-1 on Friday night and will expect a similar test tonight as preparations continue for the season ahead.
Margate will still be without Steve Cawley who is away, whilst the Blues fans will be hoping to see new signing Roberto Ratti in action as well as Montel Agyemang who featured for half an hour on Friday night.
Tonight’s opponent, Dartford, have played two pre-season friendlies so far against Charlton Athletic losing 2-1 and drawing against Dunston UTS 2-2, meaning Margate have an extra 90 minutes into their legs ahead of this fixture. Dartford had a strong season last season finishing 2nd in the National League South, however, were defeated in the playoffs missing out on promotion.
Margate and Dartford share a good partnership with both Ben Greenhalgh and Elliot Leveson part of the Dartford Academy.
Kick off is 7:45pm and the gates open at 6:30pm and you can purchase your tickets by clicking here.
