In their opening friendly at Oxford Road in difficult conditions with torrential rain at times the two teams produced an excellent entertaining game. Dartford went into an early two goal lead and after Cray Valley pulled one back, Dartford then restored their two goal lead 3-1. BY the interval things were all square . Cray Valley goals coming from Lucy Robertson, Katie Jackson on her debut and Annemarie Blanche.
Half Time 3-3

News of the final score final finally reached me as I emerged from walking through the woods on holiday on the Gower Peninsula in Wales where I had briefly lost signal. I was delighted to find out that Charlotte Knipe had scored the winner in the final ten minutes. It was her first goal for Cray Valley. Well played Ladies. Final Score 4-3
