After a 'few scares' it looks like we will have enough players willing to travel so that we will be able to raise a side to visit Namur, in Belgium, at the end of January. We were expecting to play our good friends, marshalled by Nicolas Lucas, from the Paris Saint Germain Supporters' Club (Belgium branch). But they are struggling for numbers that weekend, as some of their number are unavailable, so they are 'linking up' with the fans of their local Belgian Second division side Namur, & we will be officially doing battle with them. Which, I personally think, is marvellous, as not only do we have the pleasure of their local hospitality, it also adds new foreign opposition to our ever growing tally of teams played on our tours. Though that does seem like a rather lame excuse to me from Nicolas. Truth is I think he's 'running scared' from us, having lost at Belair Park in 2005, & then being unable to defeat are merry old band in Paris earlier this year, I think he really is running scared of suffering a hat-trick of matches where his boys have been unable to defeat us magnificent "Rabblers" over ninety minutes!
If you haven't committed yourself yet it's not too late to let Andy know you're available, so drop him a line if you're interested: Andrew.tucker@justice.gsi.gov.uk
The actual date of the game is Saturday 26th January, & the First Team you will miss that day is at home to Walton & Hersham. But don't look at is as 'having to miss a match', no! More it's a case of you are taking part in another Dulwich Hamlet match the same day!
Namur are at home on the Saturday evening, & we will be cheering them on too!
