Injury-hit Dartford Ladies were eliminated in the quarter-final of the SECWFL League Cup on Sunday after a 7-1 home defeat against Lordswood.

Dartford were missing Donnelly (knee), Page (ankle), Stork (ankle) and Sutherland (hand), after being reinstated into the competition when their previous victors were disqualified. Lordswood, who play two divisions higher, raced to a two-goal lead in the opening four minutes, which they extended to six before the break.

Dartford came out after the interval playing a previously untried attacking formation to take pressure off their thinned-down defence and midfield.

But Lordswood added a seventh before Olly Etherington claimed a consolation for Dartford with a scorching 30-yard strike into the top corner of the net with 20 minutes left.

This Sunday, Dartford entertain Corinthians at 2pm.
