Liz O'Callaghan joins the Hamlet

We are delighted to announce the signing of Liz O'Callaghan ahead of the 25/26 FAWNL season which begins this weekend. 

O'Callaghan has impressed manager Maria Tavares on a number of occasions in pre season and is raring to get going in pink & blue. 

She's spent the last few years at Ashford Town (Middlesex) until their stint in the 4th tier came to an end last season. Following a successful trial period she becomes our 1st new signing of the summer. 

O'Callaghan is fit and could make her debut on Sunday when we take on Luton Town.

Erin Corrigan and Saskia Reeves Priestley have agreed to another year in pink & blue and everyone at Champion Hill is delighted to have them back. 

Both were integral parts of our title winning side 2 seasons ago and experienced memorable debut campaigns in the FAWNL with a number of strong defensive and goalkeeping displays. 

Erin and Saskia will be integral parts of Maria Tavares Hamlet side as we enter our 2nd season in the FAWNL. 

On returning to SE22 Erin said this, "I couldn't imagine playing for anyone else besides the pink & blue. This club's atmosphere, stadium, fans, and ethos are all unmatched across the women's football pyramid.

We are super excited for what this new season will bring, and can promise every player and the entire coaching staff will be giving it our absolute all this year to contend with the National League's best.To those who have supported us week in and week out, thank you. And to any Dulwich fan who has not yet been to a women's game, we invite you to come down on a Sunday, grab a pint from the outside bar, and watch some spicy football.Cannot WAIT to see everyone down at the Hill."

Everything you need to know | Luton Town Women vs Dulwich Hamlet Women

Our 2nd season in the FAWNL begins on Sunday as we head to take on newly promoted Luton Town as they begin their first season in the 4th tier. Here is everything you need to know: 

STADIUM ADDRESS

Barton Rovers Football Club, Sharpenhoe Road, Barton-le-Clay, Bedford MK45 4SD

TICKETS: 

Tickets are only available at the turnstiles and it is CASH ONLY

Adults: £5

Concessions: £1

Barton Rovers is open to spectators from 12:45 pm with kick-off at 2 pm. 

Whilst entrance is cash only the rest of the stadium accepts cash or card. 

TRAVEL INFORMATION: 

This will be one of the harder grounds to get to this season with no direct trains to the local area. Your best bet is to get a train to Luton from London St Pancras. 

From Luton get the MK1 bus from Luton Station Interchange to The Memorial Berton-Le-Clay. It is then a short 5 minute walk to the stadium. You'll have to follow the same process in reverse to get back to Luton from Barton-Le-Clay. Train prices start from £7. 

PUBS WE RECOMMEND: 

There are a number of pubs in Barton-Le-Clay with beer gardens and with the weather looking promising here are the ones we suggest visiting. 

Firstly we recommend The Royal Oak which is just a 3 minute walk from the stadium with a large beer garden and a number of food and drink options for those enjoying the August sunshine. Our other suggestion is further away but The Bull offers a variety of food and drink options and is roughly 10 minutes from the stadium. 

CAN'T JOIN US BUT WANT WANT TO FOLLOW US FROM HOME?

Ceylon Hickman and Lucy Monkman retained

We are delighted to announce the retention of Ceylon Hickman and Lucy Monkman ahead of the 25/26 FAWNL season. 

Lucy and Ceylon have been club stalwarts for years and enter yet another season in the famous pink & blue. 

Lucy wrote herself even further into the club history books at the start of last season when she became the 1st Dulwich Hamlet Women's player to score in the FAWNL as she opened the scoring against Norwich City on the opening day of last season. 

Ceylon on the other hand would be our final scorer of the 25/26 season when she netted on the final day of the season. Her only goal of the campaign. 

On signing on for another year at Champion Hill Lucy had the following to say, "It's a big season ahead as we move into a new era of management. I'm proud to return and play a part in this transition, and I'm looking forward to the fresh energy and direction under new leadership." 

Ceylon added this as she signed on for another season in pink & blue here "It’s a genuine privilege to sign for my 7th season in the pink and blue. With every year I’m more mindful that football doesn’t last forever, so I’m ready to work harder than ever and savour each moment we get to have as a group with the Pepper Army.

I have so much love for the club, the fans and my teammates and I can’t wait to pull the shirt on for our second season in the National League. We know standards will have gone up across the league and it’s exactly the same for us. I’m so excited to get back out there and show the Pepper Army what the hard work this preseason is all for. We’ll need you louder than ever this season!"
