Here we are, our final home league fixture of the season. We’ve shown on more than one occasion during the 2025/26campaign that we can mix it with the teams at the top and have taken points off every side in this division bar one.

Our style and philosophy of football has made people take notice whilst the culture we have instilled has brought the fans and team together again in a way that spreads way beyond our litte corner of south London.

Firstly I'd like to thank the chairman, Ben Clasper, as well as the Hickeys and the Club's board for having the faith to appoint me and trusting that my team and I could not only bring life back to this club, but also rebuild the relationship between the team and its supporters so that it is one we can all be proud of once again.

Thanks to the staff within the club – media, security and hospitality, etc – for making me feel a real part of this place from the very start and for supporting me through both the dizzy highs and the at times lonesome lows. My staff have been nothing short of incredible this season.

My right-hand man JR has played a huge role in what you see on the pitch. An excellent coach and leader, he is someone that that lives and breathes 'Pink'n'Blue'. Kingy and Willow have brought a wealth of knowledge and life to the team. Carly, Baf and Will – the physio team – have given tireless effort in making sure the boys are fit or being rehabilitated as quickly as possible in order to be available.

Hernan and Gavin, our kit men, have both ensured every detail is covered and made sure preparation is fulfilled. As for the players, I can promise you all that they’ve given absolutely everything this season. At times we’ve fallen short, but we’ve also all lived the magic that their performances have created. The free-flowing football has shown us some special moments.

These boys really care about each other and for the club. To the fans. Wow! The heartbeat and the spine of this club. Although at times you've been, quite rightly, critical, I believe that the bond with this team has re-ignited a flame that everyone should be excited about. With your continued support, the club is moving in a really positive direction on and off the pitch.

The London Senior Cup Final on Tuesday April 28th here at Champion Hill is the night we'll do everything we can to lift that trophy for this Club. This remains, one of the things I promised to try and do upon returning in 2025.

Finally, to my Dad. Look how far this football journey has taken us. Thank you along with the rest of my family for believing in my dream to progress up the football ladder. Ten days till summer. No doubt one to remember. We have three more games and we'll continue to need your support and your voices.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing in Mark Dacey.

Here’s to making some more memories before we end this season.

LAHOOOOO...
