DHFC Women's Team

[Nivag]

Real shame the team couldn't hold onto the lead or win the penalty shootout. Would have been good to have a decent cup run.

Anyhoo, some cracking photos from the day from Lockie and Liam

Did I hear right that the Reserves can’t be promoted if the Firsts aren’t promoted? Or have I made that up?

I've heard the same as well.

I've heard the same as well.

That would make sense, as the reserves are in the division below. A club's reserve teams can't play at the same level as the first team.

Is it common for women's teams to have reserve teams in the pyramid?

I think I'd be a bit miffed if the Hamlet women's first team were pipped to the title by bigger teams reserve side.

If Hamlet women’s reserves won that League but couldn’t be promoted, would the promotion pass to the second placed team? If not that would definitely be cause for being miffed.

I believe promotion would pass to the second placed club, subject to them meeting any other relevant criteria.

The presence of reserve teams is not uncommon as they have nowhere else to play, that I am aware of. The FA are trying to drive the women's game from teams to clubs. As more reserve teams appear I'm sure they'll look to establish a more suitable structure.

As an aside, Walton Casuals played in the Suburban League against the likes of DH Reserves for years. They were league members before it become a reserve
team league and stuck around. That was sorted out eventually, I'm sure they'll look to do the same in the women's pyramid.

Game this Sunday

Good game today. Final score 1-1. Hamlet hit that cross bar at the end but Ashford missed a series of sitters.

First points the opposition have dropped all season? Just one team going up from the division will be a tough ask though.

Yes, decent result. Ashford had won all 6 league games with a goal difference of +29, plus they won their FA Cup game 25-0

Lovely bit of autumn sunshine. Shame the team could have played a week without scoring. One of those days.

The game is off this afternoon.

Midweek cup game tonight

 

[Nivag]

They won 9 (nine) nil tonight. It could have been more.

Where do London Seaward fit in the pyramid? And why did they only put their reserve team out?

 

[T Corcoran]

They play in the league above (i think). They were originally Leyton Orient before they had to rename. Not 100% sure why the reserves had to play. Only reason I can think of is the reserve team were still in the draw and we drew them over the first team.

London Seaward's first team are also in this competition (first round fixtures here)

Not sure what would've happened if they drew each other, but West Didsbury & Chorlton Women did play against their own reserves in a competitive match recently

If anyone is curious how London Seaward's firsts compare to their reserves, we get the semi-scientific chance to find out on Sunday November 21st, when they visit Champion Hill in a separate cup competition

In the interests of science I think we should insist on the same DHFC starting XI.
