GATESHEAD kept up the pressure on Vanarama Conference leaders Barnet as they claimed a hard-earned 1-0 win over Dartford Town.

Danny Wright’s second goal in as many games settled things as the Heed claimed their fourth victory in the last five matches.

Dartford had their chances in a lively first half, but Gateshead goalkeeper Adam Bartlett kept the visitors at bay.

Wright claimed the only goal of the game in the 53rd minute, nodding home a well-judged cross from former Darlington skipper Jamie Chandler.
