Dartford too good as Millwall Lionesses beaten for just second time in eleven league games

Millwall Lionesses were defeated 5-0 by leaders Dartford in the L&SERWFL Premier Division at St Paul’s last weekend. 

Shauni Griffiths scored a hat-trick for the Darts, who had Ellie Dolby, daughter of Millwall 1991 FA Youth Cup winner, Tony, in their side.

Millwall had their highest attendance of the season, 200, in Rotherhithe as they suffered just a second league defeat in their last eleven games.

Dartford took the lead after fifteen minutes through Amy Russ’s shot from 25 yards

Griffiths got her first goal on 23 minutes and added her side’s third with a powerful 30-yard free-kick nine minutes later.

Just before the half-time break, Mia Lockett had a chance to get one back for Ted Jones’s side, but her shot was saved by goalkeeper Paris Smith.

Millwall made a bright start to the second half. Emel Huseyin crossed from the right to find Lockett in the box only for her effort to go over the bar.

A ricochet in the area gifted Dartford a fourth goal, with Griffiths completing her hat-trick on 64 minutes.
