And a tournament view from the tournament Captain:

With it being such a historic occasion it was only fitting that Jack McInroy was appointed "Rabblers" honorary captain for the day for the 'Pa' Wilson Cup, especially as he had been instrumental in honouring our Club founder with the unveiling of the 'Pa' Wilson bronze memorial outside the main entrance to the ground earlier in the season.
We asked Jack to jot down a few thoughts on the tournament...

" I had a really great time on Saturday. It was a great privilege being the honorary team captain and a thrill to lift the trophy for third place.
When I arrived just after ten o'clock I saw a dejected Ian Wright slouched on a sofa in the bar and about to make his way home. I haven't been selected he says, Andy's got enough. No, Ian, hang about and maybe another team will be one short. He's glad he did because he ended up with a winners' medal having spent the day as custodian of the French sticks.
Steve Rickerby and I went next door to Sainsburys to pick up some bottles of water, some chocolates and biscuits, crsips, some wedding gifts for the soon to be weds etc. But no French sticks.
I was instructed to receive the kick off pass from Councillor Blango and hoof it up to the corner flag. But it did cross my mind to take a pop at goal, which if it had gone in would have been an 'assist' to Mr. Blango!
My apologies for missing a dead cert goal. Oh the ravages of time, if I were only a few years younger. I anticipated a parry from the 'keeper but just could not adjust my body to steer the ball into the unguarded net. Instead the ball hit the inside of the post and flew right along the goal-line and away. Aaaaaaaghh!
Steve Baker, who was watching the tournament with his mum, took the opportunity of having his photograph taken sitting in the dugout, thus fulfilling a lifelong dream. Well, I'm not sure of the lifelong bit.
From the centre of the pitch we could hardly hear a thing coming from the tannoy. So Mishi's well rehearsed speech and Councillor Blago's waffling was wasted really.
Three very enjoyable games-the two we played were almost empty of fouls. The 'final' between our visitors was the most exciting of the three by far: an incredible game. Paris San Belgique worthy winners. All the phtos I've seen are great, by the way. And well done to everyone for making it such a great success."

Looking back at our Tournament-the fans' view:

Sitting in the stand, cheering us all on back on the 12th of May,were Hamlet fans Steve Baker & his mum Claire.
We asked them what they thought of the day & here's what Steve said:

"My mum thought it was really enjoyable day. The atmosphere was friendly, so much so that she wants to be added to Andys DHSFC e-mailing grouping. So if the weather's good you might have her cheering you on from the touchline at Belair Park next season.
The National anthems were good, they struck me (whilst adding a professional touch) as being more of a humerous touch (the joke being that no-one expected such a level of professionalism) so to me it seemed immediately funny.
The programme was a great read, and the colour cover was superb!
The referee seemed to be an amicable gentleman, this undoubtedly added to the friendly atmosphere, can you imagine what it would have been like if he'd been a bit of a cretin?
The football was devoid of any bookings, or even unsavoury incidents and appeared to be played in a good spirit.
The weather held up, but only just.
A humerous point, I suppose, was the announcement that the 'tea bar' was open, but then finding it was only selling burgers & sausages and not cups of rosy! What sort of impression was that to give to our 'Johnny Foreigner' guests...not even selling our own national drink?
It was nice to see some of the older Hamlet shirts being worn. The Pink 'n' Blue quarters, which was going back to the late nineties, I think.
At last I can put a face and a name to Mr. Onionbagblogger. Presumably he left early as he was due at a facny dress party as a 1960's Tour de France cyclist?
I personally achieved a little lifetimes ambition and sat on the actual Dulwich Hamlet First Team bench & couldn't resist the opportunity to give the dugout a Martin-Eede-style SLAP!!! It actually doesn't take that much effort to get the SLAP sound so reminiscent of seasons 2001/02 to 2005/06...
It was weird to see the curious (to a non-smoker) sight of several players who were substituted..and lighting up straight away on the touchline!
We both got obvious pleasure from seeing both sets of our visiting friends having such a good time.
It's mind boggling to see something that started off as an idea grow into a real event, and featured in 'Time Out' as well. In my view this tournament has the potential to grow...LARGE!
The only slight downer was that I was suffering from a bit of a cold, so didn't stay for the boozing in the bar afterwards.
Thank you to everyone who organised the day, it really was appreciated, and thanks for being invited down, pitchside, to sit in the dugout!
Roll on the second 'Pa' Wilson Cup! "

Nice words, thanks to Steve & Claire for letting us know how the day went for them.
