Ex-Hawks loanee Ryan Seager put Hungerford ahead with his eighth league goal of the season, but Dartford hit back with a second half brace from midfielder Berkeley-Agyepong.

Dartford have now played SIX games more than Hawks, and they were due to play a seventh - at Eastbourne Borough - on Tuesday.

But that game has now been pushed back to next Saturday, allowing some supporters into the ground.

Jonathan Lacey levelled with a penalty in a first half which saw both sides reduced to 10 men.

Hemel had defender Luke Pennell sent off, but as it was for two yellow cards he will be available for Wednesday’s game.

Striker Omar Rowe - who has joined Hemel on a dual registration as parent club Hayes & Yeading of the Southern League - have been inactive during lockdown - came off the bench to grab the second half decider.

Hampton & Richmond Borough have also benefited from signing a player from a club at a lower level during lockdown.
