The Dart(s) Board

After the unexpected cancellation of the league match on Sunday, I note from the official club site that the away match against Ebbsfleet on Wednesday 29 April shows Princes Park as the venue. To my knowledge, there has been no official announcement to this effect. It may be that the Ebbsfleet pitch is no longer available now that the men's season has finished as early as that of our men's team. If the match has been switched to our ground, I am not sure our title rivals will be very happy.

If this match is not 'behind closed doors' I urge you to go along to watch, especially if you have not seen the ladies team before. You will see a squad of players committed to the club who will give everything in search of victory on the pitch. This team is not hoping for other results to be kind to pinch a lowly play-off place, they are challenging for the title against two very strong rivals and a handful of other teams that are more than capable of producing an upset.

The 'home' match a little earlier in the season was a full-bloodied local derby. Three players could have received red cards in a keenly contested first half, but the ref chose to give a stern lecture and yellow cards. Probably the right call in the end as both teams settled down in the second half and focussed more on their football.

Hopefully somebody may be able to confirm that this match is taking place at Princes Park at 19:45hrs tomorrow. Do yourself a favour and give the ladies your support for the evening.

Confirmed as on club website, for tomorrow (Wednesday),
7.45pm KO.
Before the last vital Two Away games, last chance at Home, to check out our DFC Women's team v an Abandoned Ebbsfleet Women squad, who don't even have a Ground, to call Home! Disgraceful!

The Kent Cup Champions return to action tomorrow night (Wednesday), as we face Ebbsfleet Utd Women at Princes Park.

Princes Park Stadium, Dartford, DA1 1RT.

Let’s fill the stands, make some noise and push the Darts Women to victory!

This fixture was originally meant to be an away fixture, but Ebbsfleet were unable to host, so the fixture has been reversed and will now be played at Princes Park.

Three points tonight Darts. Even if it's by one goal whether it's off the knee, backside or whatever part the anatomy so long as it's legal. A goal's a goal.
Don't read too much into Saltdean's 9-0 demolition of Aylesford away last weekend. They can only play what's infront them and Aylesford didn't turn up by all accounts. They allowed the opposition far too much space and Saltdean didn't get out of second gear. They didn't have to!

Dominant performance from Dartford this evening. Not sure how they only scored three goals, nor how they conceded one. The woodwork suffered this evening and the Ebbsfleet keeper made some good saves.

Good luck for Sunday.

What’s the situation with remaining games? It looks like we have three to play, but only two fixtures listed (missing SL benfica away)

Also our final game is against league leaders Saltdean but they have another game a week later? Is it just the club/fa website not being updated?

The fixture away to Benfica was postponed last Sunday and has yet to be rearranged. Hopefully it will take place the weekend following our match at Saltdean who will be playing at Dorking on the same day.

Thank you

Had heard that the Benfica Away game was a 'Walkover', with 3 points and goals to us?
Then again. it's a league of mysteries...

As far as I am aware, Ebbsfleet Women were booted out of Stonebridge Road and have played their "home" games at Rochester Utd. Fair play to all involved for carrying on with the season, having had most of their senior players go to Barking. Also, the Benfica game was awarded away win and three goals. We travel to Dorking Wanderers this Sunday, 15:30 kick off and our final game at Saltdean on Sunday 10th. Subject to change, depending on if Saltdean and the league want to play silly buggers and disrupt the fixtures again.
I did hear that the fixtures are weighted as to who the league think will be fighting it out at the top. The 2026 fixtures for this 25/26 season were only announced in January! It truly is a Mickey Mouse league run by a bunch of clowns and totally disrespectful to women's football. Every team deserves better.
