The momentum continues with a well deserved 4-0 victory over Newhaven.
The visitors came closest to opening the scoring in the 11 minute with a shot hitting the side netting.
On 24 mins a good effort from just outside the box by Ellie Dolby flew a couple of feet over the bar.
31 mins, Lizzie Adam's header into the box found Emily Vaughan who blazed over.
As Darts continued to press for the opening goal an interchange from a short corner saw Abbey Davies shoot just wide of the post.
Then, in the 40th minute, last season's deadlock breaker, Lizzie, was at it again when the ball broke free to her after the keeper made a good save from Emily Vaughan, but couldn't prevent the strike from the former captain finding the back of the net.
On the stroke of half time Davies came close with a curling shot from a free kick just outside the box.
In the second half the visitors were still in the game until the 51st minute when a crazy few minutes left them with a mountain to climb.
An unfortunate own goal was followed by a foul on Vaughany inside the box. Shauni Griffiths fired the resulting penalty into the bottom left corner to make it 3-0.
Darts we're awarded another spot kick in the 83rd min involving two of the substitutes. Emily Woodhouse was unceremoniously hauled down in the area. The following penalty remarkably saw the keeper pull off a double save from Amy Russ.
The 4th and best goal of the game arrived on 85 mins when my player of the match, Abbey Davies, fired a cracking low shot past the keeper from 22 yards out.
It rounded off a good weekend for Abbey who also featured in the weekend's match day programme versus Bognor Regis Town on Saturday.
