IN the proverbial game of two halves Dartfordians established a 12-3 lead with the gale-force wind behind them, but it was never enough as the visitors came back to score a comfortable league win.
Darts started badly by conceding a penalty in the very first minute and then losing fly-half David Byng injured only a minute later.
But scrum-half Howard Evans put them ahead as he spun off the end of a line-out move to touch down.
A brilliant break by skipper Matt Smith paved the way for full-back David Stening to cross the line and centre Bradley Jones kicked the conversion.
But Brighton amost completely dominated the second period with four tries and a penalty to run our 28-17 winners, with a lone try from right-wing Guy Farland being Darts' only reply after some fine approach work by Evans.
