DHFC Women's Team

Might also add a narrow defeat 2–1 for the reserves against a Clapton CFC that reached the third round of the Vitality Cup last season. Not going to mention how many that team scored against me in a preseason friendly for Goal Diggers (The official score and our recollection are in dispute after the OSD scoreboard seemed to gain 3 goals during a drinks break!) although in our defence we put out a side gathered at less than 48 notice some of whom had not played 11s football before!

Dulwich Hamlet Women comfortably cruised to their first win of the season yesterday afternoon at Champion Hill.

1-1 draw at New London Lionesses today in a game that we absolutely dominated. No exaggeration when I say we must have had 90% of the ball. Hit the bar twice, the post twice, keeper made a couple of saves plus several more chances inches wide. Even our equaliser hit the woodwork on its way in!

Reserves also dominated but lost 2-1 at Denham United thanks to a late penalty. Frustrating day all round!
 
I’m going to have to watch the highlights later particularly as the referee called me after I’d finished my own games to tell me how she’d sent off Ceylon. Failed to mention Chana’s “red” card though. Wonder whether Lucy Clark is going to be on the team’s Christmas card list.
 
Apparently Chana was sin binned and as she was walking off sarcastically applauded the ref who gave her a yellow card. She wasn’t sent off
 
A veritable stroll in the sun today, 7-0.

Can’t really take Saturdays any more, but Sundays are a good substitute (Peckham Town on Saturdays and Hamlet women on Sundays is a solid weekend). Some good impromptu chanting from the Toilets Opposite (‘buy a programme for your dog’ being a highlight, albeit one needing context for it to be fully appreciated)
 
We fought so hard today, the Rabble sounded glorious in the Toilets Opposite, noise has got louder and louder over the last three home games, brilliant repertoire going on. As Borstal Scum said, Chana Hinds was sensational in defence, Erin and Ceylon also brilliant too.

With teaching and then doing the men’s comms on Saturdays in previous years, I’d never been to a women’s game before coming back, really feel like I’ve missed out as I love Sundays watching them
 
Whilst our attendances are still very good for this level and it’s still quite early in the season, its a bit disappointing that we don’t seem to be seeing the anticipated upsurge in crowds resulting from the Euros success, particularly this weekend when there was no mens game at all. I was hoping we would be getting around 500 regularly, but pushing onto 6-700 fans. Perhaps it will start to come now that there’s a regular singing contingent, and with continued exposure? I would say it’s a nice problem to have, but I think we need about 500 to break even.
