Former players...

Honest interviews from Anthony Cooke and Michael Karmara re their time at Dulwich.
The first 10 minutes aren't especially relevant then it fizzles out at about 50 minutes, but that's worth a listen.

Especially interesting to hear the timeline for Cookie's year at the club. Also that his dad played for the Hamlet whom I assume to be Evans Cook, a forward who had a season in our reserves and made a few first team appearances around 30 years ago.

I'm rather disappointed to lose Cookie, a lot of what he says tallies with what I'd guessed. Didn't get a proper pre-season due to the hamstring injury, made a slow start, ended up playing out of his favoured position as a winger, never really got a full explanation for being transfer-listed but remained professional and kept getting picked. I thought he was really looking the part by the end of the season, especially at Wealdstone when he was the best player on the pitch in one of our best performances. However he's got a day job in the City now so the 3 mornings a week training schedule is totally impractical. (Sounds like training was Monday and Thursday evenings last season.) I reckon Welling have landed a top player and I won't be surprised if he has a big season there.

Totally agree. He was a player that grew on me as the season wore on. By the end he was one of the first names on the team sheet for me. Would love to have been a fly on the wall for that 45-minute conversation he had with Gav at the end of last season.

Thought it was genuinely sad to hear he wasn't enjoying it by the end.
 
Dean McDonald, who is at Whitehawk at the moment, looks set to be in the England six-a-side squad for the World Cup again. In Crete in October this time. Head coach is some fella called Kevin James.
