PREVIEW: Dulwich Hamlet vs Sutton United

Dulwich Hamlet take on Sutton United on Sunday 24th March as they hope to keep their promotion dreams alive.

The fixture sees the return of Sutton Manager Lucy Clark who many of you will recognise from refereeing many times at Champion Hill and has been involved in the organisation of our trans gender fixtures.

Lucy, a life long Sutton fan was appointed as Manager in January after taking over from Will Letts. 

Dulwich need to win every game for the remainder of the season and are relying on Dartford FC to slip up. Dartford are away to Saltdean United.

Dulwich last played Sutton in December winning 6-0 with a braces from Summer Roberts and Lily Price with further goals from Rhea Gall and Angel Reid.

We are expecting another big crowd of over 500 so please get down early to avoid the queues. Gates open at 1pm and kick off is 2pm.

After the game the bar will be open and we will be showing West Ham Women vs Chelsea Women (16:30) and Aston Villa Women vs Arsenal Women (18:45).

Match Preview | Dulwich Hamlet vs Aylesford FC

After a few weeks on the road, we now have a few games at home and today we take on Aylesford FC in a must win game to keep us in the Championship race.

After a slow start to the season Aylesford have picked up pace in recent weeks and have found themselves in the Kent Women's Cup Final where they face Dartford. 

We played the first leg of this season's fixtures in October when we beat them 6-1 with goals from Phoebe Read, Lily Price, Asia Harbour-Brown, Shakira Kafero-Roberts and a brace from Lucy Monkman. 

Our title race contenders Dartford were due to play AFC Crawley this afternoon but that is now off due to this morning's Monsoon like weather conditions. Fortunately the rain will have cleared for kick off. 

Lindsay Margaroli will be bringing us live commentary this afternoon if you cannot make the game. You can find that here. Can't tune into live radio coverage? You can keep up to date with the afternoon's actions by following our official X/Twitter page right here. 

After the game we will be showing the Manchester United vs Liverpool FA Cup Quarter Final. 

KO 14:00. Tickets can be bought online here or pay on the gate. Please note there is no Windrush line at Denmark Hill and East Dulwich Station is closed. 

PREVIEW | Dulwich Hamlet vs Dartford - League Cup Semi Final

Having spent what seems like several years on the road, we are back at home again this Sunday (2PM KO) to take on Dartford. The last time we played at home we played Dartford and won 5-2. That was in the League, this is in the League Cup.

Both teams are strong, both teams are on winning form so this should be a cracking match for a place in the Cup Final at the Gallagher Stadium, Maidstone on the 21st April.

Our last game against Dartford saw a record crowd of 647. We want to beat that and we need as much noise as possible.

Tickets

£4/£2. This is a cup game so season tickets are not valid. Please buy online if you can to help us get people into the stadium quickly. Tickets here. Gates open at 1pm.

Join Dulwich Reserves and Camden and Islington in a celebration of Women's Football (Game postponed)

Please note this game has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

This Sunday, we turn out attention to our reserves team who are playing Camden and Islington (Candi) in the Premier Division North.

Candi’s men’s team have recently absented themselves from two cups after refusing to play a team who registered with the league as MHFC and subsequently started using a misogynistic name which we are not going to publish here. The team are currently under investigation by league officials for “horrific examples of misogyny” posted to the team’s official social media accounts.

In solidarity with their women’s team they will be attending the match on Sunday so we encourage our fans to join them in a celebration of women in football and cheer on our reserves.

Men’s team captain, Billy Doyle told the Guardian “Candi will be standing strong on its principles and is willing to forfeit defending our titles as winners of both cups to show the women in our club and our wider community that we will not tolerate an environment in which they are not safe and respected. We’re encouraged by the assurances of the Amateur FA that a prompt and rigorous investigation will take place, but it should never have come to this. It shouldn’t be on the shoulders of this team to make football an inclusive space.”

Candi’s director of women’s football, Ali Speechly,  told the Guardian ““We’ve received incredible support from the whole footballing ­community since taking a public stance against ­misogyny in football. We’re ­heartened by that solidarity, but sad to have reconfirmed just how ­common our experience is, and how rare it is that clubs take a stand. Words alone won’t create change, so instead of playing the cup fixture this Sunday we will be cheering on our women’s first team. We’ve organised a small festival celebrating inclusive football. We hope that everyone who shares our dream will join us there.”

Dulwich Reserves Manager, Sian Fitzpatrick said "we support the club in their bold stance and taking on this matter and we look forward to the fixture this coming Sunday"

The full Guardian article can be found here:

Dulwich Reserves last played Candi under the floodlights at Champion Hill in October 2023 and came away 4-2 winners.

The game kicks off at 2PM and will be held at Conel College EN3 5HA.
