MATCH PREVIEW | Fulham vs Dulwich Hamlet | 25/1/26

Our FAWNL campaign continues on Sunday afternoon with a trip to Motspur Park to take on league leaders Fulham.

It's the next instalment of a rivalry that dates back to our days in the L&SERWFL with Fulham coming out on top when we met earlier this season at step 4 for the 1st time.

Last weekend both sides had fixtures in the Capital Women's Cup. Fulham defeated a Chelsea Academy team 2-1 whilst the Hamlet put 4 past Millwall Lionesses in a convincing display in front of goal!

It's the our women's sides first league fixture of 2026 and first since a draw with Luton Town before Christmas.

New signins Zaineb El-Mouden, Eduarda Andrade and Maria Andrade made their Hamlet debuts last weekend with Maria scoring. New striker Leila Emmerson will be looking for her first goal in pink & blue as she makes her third appearance this weekend. 

Fulham have started life at step 4 with ease as they compete for a 2nd succesive promotion and a place in step 3 with the Whites yet to lose a League game this season. 

In their last 4 league games they've scored 20 and conceded just once to Cambridge United. They've dropped points just once this season when they drew 1-1 with QPR at the end of October. 

SQUAD NEWS: 

Nat Taylor, Elsie Grant and Neve Mayes have all taken a step closer to full fitness as they look set for a return to action in February. Apart from those 3 a fully fit Hamlet side will be available for selection at Motspur Park.

MEET THE NEW FACES IN OUR WOMEN'S TEAM

We've had a few new faces in our 1st team squad over the past few matches. Here is everything you need to know about our new signings and one who's moved from our reserves into the 1st team set up over the last few weeks. 

ZAINAB EL-MOUDEN: 

Zainab was one of three debutants on Sunday afternoon. The full-back signs from fellow FAWNL side Chesham United. Before her stint at Chesham she featured for East London side London Seaward.

The defender made her debut in our Capital Women's Cup victory over Millwall on Sunday replacing Jodie Lodge at the start of the 2nd half. 

MARIA ANDRADE:

Our 2nd debutant of the weekend, Maria scored our 4th goal in our 4-0 win over Millwall Lionesses. The Brazilian midfielder signs having spent part of this season with Charlton Athletic. 

Last season she spent time with tier 3 side AFC Wimbledon. She played the full match on Sunday and will be a key figure in our fight for survival. 

EDUARDA ANDRADE:

The 2nd of the Andrade twins. Eduarda also made her debut on Sunday in our Capital Women's Cup victory over Millwall Lionesses. 

The defender like her sister signs from Charlton Athletic and spent part of last season at AFC Wimbledon. She lined up alongside Rhea Gall on Sunday at the heart of our defence. She was replaced by Ceylon Hickman in the dying embers of the victory. 

Both Maria and Eduarda will go by the surname 'Andrade' for the remainder of the season on our website, social media and matchday programme. 

LEILA EMMERSON:

Leila made her 2nd appearance in pink & blue on Sunday after signing from Saltdean United where she's enjoyed a prolific spell in front of goal this season putting them firmly in the promotion picture from step 5 having scored 7 goals in 7 appearances.

Leila has played with goalkeeper Zahra Cheeseman in the USA prior to her move to South London and has settled in well with battling displays against Luton Town and Millwall Lionesses. 

LOLA SINGER: 

The other relatively new face in our matchday squad on Sunday was midfielder Lola Singer. Singer signed for the Hamlet in the summer but has spent much of the first part of the season with our reserves squad. 

She's recently made the step up into our 1st team squad and started on Sunday against Millwall Lionesses.
