AMATEUR FOOTBALL LEAGUE, AFA and Old Boys Cups.
The club also fields a vets side playing on most
Sunday mornings throughout the season.

1st XI
Our senior side playing high standard competitive football. The
emphasis is more on winning than on the social side but you will
often find several of our first teamers propping up the
clubhouse bar on a Saturday night. Over the years we have
consistently supplied players to the SAL representative side and
continue to do so. If you would like to find out more about
playing for our first team contact Marcus via the
Contacts page. |

2nd XI
The "2s" play high quality football and like to see
themselves as ready in the wings to push their way in to the
first team. Payney and McCann, the new joint captains, have instilled some belief in
to the 2s this season and they have started well and are currently
riding high in the table. All going well they will continue to
push for a promotion spot and end the season on a high
by pushing their way back into the top flight.

3rd XI
The 3s play good quality football and still manage to find time
for the social side of the game. Our maverick 3s are
traditionally the in-form team of the club and regularly compete
for honours. This season is no exception and we expect to see
them jump straight back up in to the 1st Division after being
relegated last season. Again this is a reversal of fortune after
last season and can be largely credited to another new
captain - Paul Latty - who will hopefully continue to push the
team onto bigger and better things. |

4th XI
After narrowly missing promotion
last season as well as making the final of the Old boys
cup, the 4s will be looking to build on last season's
success to achieve promotion. With a new captain and a
squad combining the pace and talent of youth and several
players with 2nd and 3rd team experience bounce the 4s
are looking to get out of Division 4 South. |

5th XI
A new captain and new faces but still the same
ethos and team spirit: a bit of football and then hit the
bar!! Nevertheless, although the 5s have a good social aspect to
the team, they still play good quality competitive football and
go out with the expectation of winning the game. So far this
season the 5s are in the top 3 of their division and are on course to push for
promotion in to Minor Division 3 South so less beer and more
midweek training I think... |

Strollers
When not at Dulwich & Sydenham golf course, our vets can be
seen playing most Sundays in friendly fixtures in the South East
region as well as competing in the Vets Cup. Featuring legends
from bygone days (Caintoo, Eddie Bowen and Tim "sticky sand"
Wareham to name
just a few) the Strollers are all about touch and passing the
ball rather than running round like headless chickens. (According
to some sources it's all about being the better looking team and
winning on the nuts). After a brief-ish stint out on pitch its a
headlong rush to the bar for a few welcome beers after the game.
If you're interested in playing for the Strollers you should
contact John Battle (see Contacts page) and please note that the
minimum age requirement is technically 35 years old. |
