EDF readers may be interested to know about the remarkable climax to the season that the local non-league football team, Dulwich Hamlet are enjoying.


Hamlet play in Division 1 South of the Ryman League, and after another fairly indifferent season looked to have missed out on the chance of promotion to the Premier Division from which they were relegated 10 years ago. However an exceptional run of form at the end of the season culminated in them triumphing 2-0 in a ?winner takes all? match last Saturday away at Walton & Hersham and clinching fifth place in the league and a place in the promotion play-offs. The final table was:


1. Met. Police 96 points

2. Bognor Regis 96 points

3. Whitehawk 88 points

4. Leatherhead 88 points

5. Dulwich Hamlet 65 points

6. Walton & Hersham 62 points


Play-offs at this level are one-legged ties away at the higher placed team. This meant Hamlet travelled to Bognor Regis who had missed out on top place (and automatic promotion) on the final day of the season by a single goal and had finished 31 points ahead. A fine performance on Tuesday night saw Hamlet win 3-1 in front of large crowd of dis-believing home fans. Such are the vagaries of the play-offs.


So on Saturday, Dulwich Hamlet travel to Leatherhead who finished in fourth place (and a mere 23 points ahead) for the play-off final, knowing that one more good performance would see them assume at their rightful place on Jeff Stelling?s Saturday afternoon vide-printer.


Incidentally there are no updates on club website (www.dulwichhamletfc.co.uk), because the club?s webmaster booked a holiday thinking the season would have finished by now!

I spent an awful, awful, awful night in Cardiff with scousers doing exactly the same thing in 2006. Getting medicated on drinks bought by scousers was terrible... I still hurt now, I'm not joking.

gotta say that i have been impressed by the 3 times i've made it along to the club this season. went with my son (age 12) and total entry cost for both of us was ?8. even with bovril (it was very cold) still change from a tenner. football was fairly good and great to be so close to the teams so you could hear all that was going on on the pitch.


thoroughly recommend if you like a bit of football and you live round here

      Police Misreporting Crime with support of Southwark Council

      By JMK · Posted

      Hi  does anyone have experience of the police misreporting crime? I have very recent experience of them misreporting a crime of one of the most serious and violent types in this area and rather misclassifying it as a very low level, ordinary type of crime and one that has little to no victims. Furthermore, the Police have then immediately closed the case and said that there’s nothing that they can do even though they haven’t undertaken some of the most basic investigative procedures such as interviewing witnesses, checking CCTV etc… Southwark Council who also have a material role in this have are complicit with the police in this deliberate misreporting of a very serious and violent crime.  The local council representatives are also complicit Each of these bodies say that there is nothing that they can do. As a minimum, it seems as though all these parties deliberately want to misreport a very serious and violent crime as a very low category crime and then close the case immediately because they want their crime stats to look good. The Independent Office for Police Conduct merely states that they will refer any complaint to the police force in question who will investigate it themselves in the first instance! Separately, the Southwark Council Serious Violence & Duty Strategy 2023-24 states that: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/242858/Serious-Violence-Duty-Strategy-2023-2024.pdf    - Southwark has the 10th highest rate of serious violence in London  - the five year trend is upward  - the Police had identified 43 Organised Crime Gangs in Southwark at Dec 2022  - that “the illegal drug market was worth millions to the local economy” - implying that they didn’t wish to stop it as it would be very bad to the local economy!
