Additional Pre-Season Fixture
In a major coup Dulwich Hamlet will be welcoming Millwall’s Division Two Championship winning team to their Champion Hill ground this coming Saturday 14th July. In a warm-up before the Lions set off on their pre-season tour of Germany, managers Mark McGhee and Gwynne Berry will get their first chance to run the rule over their charges in the run up to the new season. Dulwich fans will be particularly intrigued to see who Gwynne has retained in his quest to regain Dulwich’s Premier Division status. Current rumours seem to point at the lower end of the scale. NB Kick–off is at TWO O’CLOCK.
The following Tuesday 17th July, Dulwich will renew acquaintances with old friends from Molesey as the Second Division side play host in the second of the Hamlet’s pre season warm-ups. The Moles had an indifferent season last year under the management of former Chelsea favourite Clive Walker, finishing in 15th place, well clear of the relegation slots. Eagerly relishing a return to his old stamping grounds will be Chairman Martin Eede, who fulfilled the same role at Walton Road as well as wearing a number of other hats including that of manager.
Dulwich fans might have felt mixed loyalties watching the London Masters 5 A Side Tournament on Sky at the weekend. For there in the red of Charlton were three players who had graced the green swards of Champion Hill down the years. Chief among their number was Alan Pardew, now manager of Reading, but also featuring were John Humphrey and Alex Dyer, whose battling efforts in front of goal brought a glimpse of hope to Dulwich in the latter days of last season. Dyer in particular showed the benefits of playing regularly capping a 3-1 victory with a sweetly taken goal in the defeat of Chelsea. He then came off the bench to turn round a seemingly lost cause against West Ham, earning a penalty then setting up the equaliser before a mistake from the Charlton keeper gifted the Hammers victory as they went on to clinch the title.
