Default What type of weed is this?

No sooner do I kill it off, and scarify, it's back, and with a
vengeance!

Can anyone tell me what type of weed it is and how I can get rid of it
for good?

It is in a part of the garden which gets very little sunlight, is often
damp, and where the grass coverage is patchy, at best, despite me using
shady grass seed.

Any advice welcome

Cheers

Looks like ground ivy:

It's a persistent problem in my lawn too.
