Darts Women Back To Winning Ways After Victory At Aylesford!

London and South East Regional Women’s Premier League, played on Sunday, 25th January 2026.

The Darts were back on the road on Sunday afternoon, as they headed to Aylesford Ladies FC looking for their first three points of the new year.

The visitors began the game strongly and were ahead early in the first half. In the 13th minute, a fine free kick from Darts defender Abbey Davies flew past Aylesford keeper, Sade Rider to put them ahead.

The hosts reacted well to going behind and went close in the 31st minute. Aylesford’s Gabriella Hawkins fired a shot from inside the 18yd box into the side netting.

Darts went close again to doubling their advantage 12 minutes before the break. In the 33rd minute, Abbey Davies found Xayla-Rae Alberts with a free kick from deep. The header from the Darts captain went over the bar and they were ahead by one at half time.

The Darts began the second period brightly and went close minutes after the restart. In the 49th minute, Elsa Ejupi put Paris Smith through on goal with a fine through ball. The shot from Smith was saved smartly by Aylesford keeper, Sade Rider.

The hosts thought that they had got the equaliser in the 55th minute, however, the officials deemed there to be an offside in the build up and the goal was ruled out.

The visitors continued to search for the second goal of the game and had to wait until the final stages to get it. In the 86th minute, another fine free kick from Abbey Davies found the top corner to wrap up all three points for the Darts.
