After 60 minutes a Dan Tarrant free kick was headed in by Jamal Ndakoji for his hat trick.
and 10 minutes later from a Ben Baptiste cross he netted his 4th. On 75 minutes Dan Regan replaced Dan Tarrant. 9 minutes later Jamal Ndakoji added his 5th of the game latching onto a great long through ball from Harry Smart and restoring St Michael’s lead at 4 – 5. But a minute later another mistake in the St Michaels defence saw Dartford level the scores, with the final score being 5 - 5.
An exciting game albeit filled with numerous misses from St Michaels as well as countless mistakes in defence. Certainly 2 points lost as opposed to one point gained. The “Man of the Match” award this week is the easiest I have had to give in the 4 years since St Michaels were formed. Jamal Ndakoji has improved week after week and his 5 goals today were testament to this along with his general all round play. A great performance Jamal and we look forward to many more goals.
