Darts were back on home soil once again as we welcomed Dorking Wanderers to Princes
Park.
We have been in fine form in the league since the opening day and wanted to the continue
this run with victory in this contest.
The home side began the game brightly and created a couple of good chances within the
first 10 minutes. The best of these chances coming in the 5th minute; a great cross from
Amy Russ found Brionne Fowle inside the Dorking box. The Darts midfielder headed the ball towards goal, only for the chance to be cleared off the line by the Dorking defence.
As the half went on, the Darts continued to create chances in search of the opening goal. In the 30th minute, an effort from Brionne Fowle from the edge of the box forced a fine save from the Dorking keeper.
Darts were to get the breakthrough right before half time. In the 45th minute, a great cross from Emily Woodhouse found Brionne Fowle inside the 6yd box. The Darts midfielder
connected well with the cross and headed past the keeper to put us ahead at half time.
Darts thought they had their second goal early on in the second half. In the 54th minute, a
great move from the home side resulted in Emily Vaughan putting the ball beyond the
keeper. However, the linesman had adjudged the Darts forward to be in an offside position
and the goal was ruled out.
Darts went close again midway through the half as in the 68th minute; a cross from Poppy
Payne found Emily Woodhouse in the box. The Darts midfield fired towards goal, but the
shot went just wide of the Dorking goal.
The visitors began to create chances in the final stages of the second half, but the Darts
defence stayed strong to earn all three points.
