Dan Trenkel's late strike ensured Great Wakering a share of the spoils away to Dartford last night.

Dartford striker Dan Sykes put the hosts ahead in the 15th minute after a move from Zimbabwean international Testoa Kwashi.

But Trenkel put Rovers on terms three minutes later from a Paul Wheeler cross.

Jordan Tolan then set up Danny Heale to put Great Wakering in front after 43 minutes.

The lead was short-lived however as Eddie McClement made a 20 yard run and scored with a 20-yard low shot past Mark Hardingham, who was making his debut for Rovers.

Substitute Jim Carter then helped put Dartford back in front when he found Kawshi. His first shot was blocked but he put away the rebound.

But Trenkel was not to be denied as he outstripped a Dartford defender and fired home to secure a share of the spoils.

East Thurrock went to town last night as they thrashed Chatham Town 6-1 away. The result put Rocks top of the table following their 5-1 thrashing of Erith & Belvedere on Saturday.
