Pre-Match Report: Medway U18 vs BASSDarts U18: A Familiar Rivalry Renewed

This weekend, the Dartfordians U18 Girls return to action with a highly anticipated clash against Medway — a repeat of the early-season friendly that marked the first outing of the newly formed BASSDarts squad.

Much has changed since that wet and windy afternoon. The players have settled into the rhythm of U18 rugby, the combined squad of Dartfordians, Sidcup, and Beckenham has begun to gel, and the coaches have gained a clearer picture of the team’s strengths, depth, and developing identity.

Medway, always a physically committed and well-organised side, will provide a stern test once again. Their competitive edge and strong running game challenged BASSDarts in the friendly, and they will no doubt arrive determined to reverse the result this time around.

For the Dartfordians contingent now playing under the BASSDarts banner, this fixture represents another important step in their journey at U18 level. With several months of training and match experience now behind them — and confidence growing after recent performances — the squad will look to showcase improved structure, decision-making, and cohesion across the field.

The stage is set for an exciting contest between two clubs who know each other well, respect each other deeply, and bring out the best in one another.

Kick-off approaches. Another chapter begins.
