Dartford v Port Vale, 6 November 2010
Dartford 1, Port Vale 1 in the FA Cup First Round. Dartford started with a 4-4-2 lineup, and Port Vale with a 5-3-2.
John McCombe bagged a late equaliser to deny Dartford and spare Port Vale's blushes in a 1-1 FA Cup draw at Princes Park. Market researcher Elliot Bradbrook looked to have done enough for the Darts to sink their League Two opponents on Saturday when he converted Ryan Hayes' 39th-minute free-kick. But McCombe, who had twice cleared Dartford efforts off the line in the first-half, tucked in Tommy Fraser's corner with six minutes left.
