Eastbourne Borough supporters' 4, "The Rabblers" 1

And here are some from our final match of the competition.







































Including the ones above, there are one hundred & one snaps in this set. Click here to see them all.

A little bit of this, that & the other!

This lot are a selection of non-action photos from the day, with no particular rhyme or reason. Simply ones that caught my eye.

Ian looks bored as a referee tells him how the job should be done!



Come on chaps...proper team photo please!



Griff scratches his head as he tries to work out if he's a customer or a supporter!



I may be fat, but I can touch my toes! ;-)



Supersub Megan waits for her moment!



'Bootiful!'



Melanie goes for an arty snap, with Larry looking a bit cream crackered!



It looks easy from up here!



some of the Fisher faithful...one a 'Dulwich reject!' ;-)



Don't ask! Best NOT to suggest a caption competition! ;-)



Someone booked the wrong strippergram! ;-)



Looks like they've had a gutful already...



Another take on the traditional 'spot the ball' competition..you're supposed to airbrush out the ball, not the players!



Far too young & fit for supporters' football this Eastbourne lot, or maybe we're just all old farts?



This bloke was with Millwall, & insidted Melanie took his photo....



In this last set from the Fisher tournament there are forty four pictures. Click here to see the set.

Some more pictures from the Club XI match

Dave Fry is one of our long distance fans, who travels down to a number of Hamlet home & away games over the season from Liverpool!
That's him in the photo taking his own snaps of the match, & if I may say so myself he takes excellent sports snaps. Here is his superb selecection from the match against the Club XI.
There are seventy to view altogether.

A BIG thank you to Dave for sharing them.

The winner was all those with cheesy grins!

It's strange to think that the last ever game that Craig Edwards took 'charge' of for Dulwich Hamlet was a fun Club XI against the Supporters' Team!

Less than a week after he arranged the match as a 'thank you' to the fans for supporting the Hamlet week in, week out he was out of the Champion Hill hotseat.

A case of 'thanks for the memories', & for some fans the memory of this game will live for a long time.

A large squad of Hamlet fans 'came out of the woodwork' for ths match, a number of whom have never had a runout for the Supporters' Team before, jumping at the opportunity to be on the same hallowed turf/dustbowl as their heroes. And revelling in the moment. Which is what this game was all about.

It wasn't a serious game, the final score reflecting the fact that at one stage the "Rabblers" had no less than NINETEEN outfield players on the pitch, of all shapes & sizes! Ranging from primary school kids to a sixty three year old Supporters' Team regular!

Despite the fact we went down 6-5 technically we 'won' the match after Craig shouted 'next goal wins it, as we were six four down!

It wasn't a serious match, but it was played in a great spirit, with the Club XI treating it with both the respect & irreverance such an encounter merited. I won't even attempt to cobble together a match report-not least because I didn't know everyones' names! Except to say our goals were scored by James O'Shaughnessy, who hit four, & Lawrence Marsh.

Hopefully some of those who had a run out for the first time will have realised that the Supporters' Team is about fun, & not too high a standard, and will contact the Gaffer- mospurley@hotmail.com - so they can be part of the team next season.

The two teams

A BIG thank you goes to Melanie Lucking for taking all of the snaps from the game.
Be warned...there are a lot of them!

This was our squad...



Here is the Club XI

The hardest thing about a team photo

Is getting everyone to stand still & look the right way. Not to mention getting all of the team in the right place at the right time!

I asked Melanie to take a few shots of the team(s) getting organised for the group photos. For no other reason than I'm a bit of a sad git, & like these sort of snaps!

I'll get this one out of the way!

If you're eating your dinner...LOOK AWAY NOW!

This is yours truly, getting kitted up, running late as I'd missed the First Team match, & had dashed straight from work.

I had no choice but to publish this one, I can hardly display 'dodgy' photos of others without showing off mine! ;-)
