Vale cruised into the 2nd round of the FA Cup with ease. Dartford just weren't up to it, after failing to topple Vale at the first attempt.
Marc Richards exploited their weaknesses putting Vale 2-0 up after half an hour - a penalty after Paul Goodacre tripped Gary Roberts on 17 minutes, and dozy defending allowing him to fire home into the bottom corner on 26.
Sean Rigg scored from Rob Taylor's cross from the right to make it 3-0 on 57.
Even recently goal-shy Justin Richards got on the score-sheet on 72 minutes with a clever shot from just outside the penalty area.
3,590 was a good crowd, so smiles all round?
