An early away trip this week and I think its fair to say the team were a little slow to wake up and some questionable umpiring decisions did not help much!
As a team we struggled to find any real rhythm and by the time the first half was over Dartford had a 2-0 advantage.
A stern positive team talk from Lu at half time and a bit of a tactical change saw a much improved team performance and we were creating chances and soon pulled a goal back when Hannah beat the keeper with a strong strike which Amber made sure crossed the line.
The team were now competing strongly to find an equaliser and come close on several occasions with Amber, Shrey and Nikki among others having efforts just wide.
Despite the constant Maidstone pressure Dartford increased their lead from a short corner, although Vicky made an excellent initial save, Smithy couldn't quite stop the rebound shot from crossing the line. Final Score 3-1 Dartford but a very strong positive 2nd half performance by the team.
