It was a dark and freezing evening start to the match. The warm-up kept players moving and an early whistle was most welcome. But BEs were still in the process of thawing, so Dartford took the ball and scored within 30 seconds. BEs were semi-defrosted during the first half and things were looking very soggy on pitch. By the second half, BEs played with greater fluidity and managed to equalise with an initial goal by Leah, Gina then Ria. But Dartford remained on fire and scored their winning goal, despite heroics by Juliette. Players of the Match went to Melody for persistence and focus and Ria for great attacking runs and determination to assist and score. Wally of the Match went to Karen and the weather.
Final Score Blackheath 3-4.
