Striker Eddie Dsane has signed a new deal to stay at Dartford next season. The forward scored 11 goals for the Darts, despite the majority of his 44 appearances coming from the bench. But he proved the perfect foil for Callum Jones and Olly Box, so Dartford boss Ady Pennock was keen to retain Dsane’s services. “I’m delighted to sign Eddie for another year,” said Pennock, after Dsane put pen to paper on a new contract.

Kent were thwarted by Gloucestershire’s Australian Test all-rounder Cameron Green for the second time this season on Saturday. Green scored an unbeaten 102, his second century against Kent in a matter of weeks, to move the hosts into a favourable position of their Rothesay County Championship clash in Bristol.
