In the printed press
Pre-season football doesn't quite attract the same coverage in the locals...
There were no non-league features at all this week in the two editions of the 'South London Press', so the only Dulwich Hamlet coverage from your newsagents was on Thursday, in the 'Southwark News'.
There were two pieces on The Hamlet, The first covered the ignominious loss at Whyteleafe on Tuesday:
Dulwich Whyte-washA Dulwich side missing a raft of first-teamers was hammered by Whyteleafe in a pre-season friendly on Tuesday night.
Hamlet included a number of trialists and fell behind when Charles Postance scored for the Isthmian League South side, before Mohamed Mohamed missed a chance to equalise.
Sam Clayton then doubled the Surrey club's lead before former Hamlet man Tyrell Forbes denied Mohamed.
Dulwich were unlucky not to equalise just after the break, but Ashley Carew smacked his free-kick off a post after Nana Boakye-Yiadom had been brought down.
The home side made it 3-0 in the 64th minute when Jerry Amoo was given far too much room to fire home at the near post.
With eight minutes left Dulwich pulled a goal back, and it was a carbon copy of the earlier effort, except this time after Boakye-Yiadom had been fouled Carew expertly found the net from the free-kick.
But any hopes of an improbable comeback were dashed when Whyteleafe score three goals in the last seven minutes through Daniel Ajakaiye, Andrew Musungu and Ajakaiye again.
On Saturday, Hamlet lost 1-0 to Brentford B. Reece Cole scoring the only goal of the game for the Bees.
There was also a piece about our open training session that will be help in a couple of days time:
Hamlet invite fans to open training sessionDulwich Hamlet want "players and fans to get closer than ever this season"-and are hoping an open training session early this month will be the first step in making that happen.
The Isthmian League Premier Division side are inviting supporters to Champion Hill on august 8, with Gavin Rose putting his squad through their paces from 7.30pm.
As well as getting autograph and photo opportunities with their favourite players, five supporters will be given the chance to take on five of Rose's squad in a penalty shootout-with the losers buying the winners a round of drinks.
Hamlet will launch their new kit-manufactured by Kappa and sponsored by Picfair-in the club bar at about 8.45pm.
Club chairman Liam Hickey said: "The whole evening is actually the brainchild of Gavin Rose. He really wants the players and fans to get closer than ever this season. And I couldn't agree more, we're all part of the same Dulwich Hamlet family, whether we're supporters, management, players, club officials or sponsors. I'm sure it will be a great little evening, and I hope, in particular, as many Hamlet fans as possible pop down to see their heroes close up."
