Dulwich Hamlet announce new women’s team after merger is confirmed

Dulwich Hamlet have announced a new women’s team who will play under the name of Dulwich Hamlet Women’s FC in the London and South East Premier Division, for the 2019-2020 season.

The team formerly known as AFC Phoenix, will now become Dulwich Hamlet Women. They played independently as AFC Phoenix for nearly a decade after being established in 2010.

The club had been self-sustained up until this point but after successful meetings, a merger was agreed, paving the way for the first fully-fledged Dulwich Hamlet Women squad.

Talking about the merger, captain Brittany Saylor said:

“We are thrilled to become a part of the Dulwich family. The club ethos and community support along with the talent and dedication of our girls is a definite recipe for success. We’re looking forward to continuing our accomplishments under the Dulwich name.”

The team will play their home matches at Champion Hill in an unmissable pink and blue strip.
