    Believe the U21s/PGA were due to play a friendly against Dulwich Hamlet (senior team) yesterday, no idea if it went ahead or result

    There's nothing on the PGA X feed to suggest a game was played or even planned.

    No but a Dulwich Hamlet player said it on the Guardian Football Weekly pod. I suspect it's all a bit hush hush behind closed doors so we won't hear about it but it's good to see them playing against proper adults. Just like the boys academy playing in the London Senior Cup

    Off to Kingsmeadow later for the Cup match, though not a dicky bird from Chelsea on any pitch inspections.

    Chelsea putting out a v strong side including Bronze, Bright, James and Ramirez. Going to be very tricky for us

    Pitch looks in better nick than The Valley’s… (though there is a heater in front of the little east stand).

    Getting well beaten by one of the best women's teams in the world now unfortunately. I expected as much when I saw a starting XI including Bronze, Reiten, James and Ramirez

    Watched some of it on u tube. Not at the races.
  • First 40 minutes or so was competitive but we get sluggish and sloppy

    Honestly with the team they put out it could have been much worse. We're without our best defender and we know how big the gulf is. Nothing to be ashamed of there

    Certainly over 100 in the away section of the seats. At a guess maybe about 120 or so. Back when we used to play at Thamesmead that wouldn't have been out of the ordinary as a home attendance.

    Nothing to be ashamed of at all - as mentioned above the first half was competitive (it helped that Chelsea seemed bewildered for the first 15 minutes after realising this wasn't warm-weather training) but we fell away after the first goal. You could see where Chelsea have bought themselves a world-class side and are European champions, while we are second-tier scrappers, but we gave a decent account of ourselves. Thought Jess Gray was immense in goal during that first half. 

    Third home club I've seen at Kingsmeadow after Kingstonian and AFC Wimbledon, and odd to see the place decked out in blue rather than K's red - it doesn't look like Chelsea have done much to the place other than change the colour scheme and change the east stand into a massive dugout. Strange experience to enter the rarefied world of the WSL too - Chelsea had a bloke in a jesters' hat trying to gee up the home fans and it all felt a bit flat, even if it was bloody freezing.

    If you look at Chelsea, they had some big units, Bronze, Ramirez, Bright, James ... Our players couldn't stand up to that. But Chelsea are one of the best teams in the Country, if not Europe. It does point the way in women's football that if you can introduce a bit of physicality, you ought to have a good chance in the Championship at least.

    Jess Gray the player of the match in the Chelsea defeat finds herself back on the bench in Durham today.

    Crazy- She wears the No.1 shirt and should be first choice in all games.
  • 1 up at half time. Currently moving up to 2 points off the top.
  • 2-0 Primus with the second. 15 minutes to go. Would be a really good 3 points this.
  • 2-1 win, late consolation for Durham. Well done girls.
