I’ve interviewed some big names in the past…Michael Garvin, Chris Taylor…myself but I’ve not been this anxious since playing alongside Charlton Phil. Around one year ago I was the only Dave registered with the Sporting Crabs but over the past twelve months I’ve become ‘Medium Dave’ or ‘Average Dave’ – not due to my ability…
Off the back of their ‘Giant Killing’ against London Giants (if you don’t like crowbarred puns then stop reading now), The Crabs looked to make it two wins on the bounce for the first time this season away to their old adversaries Wig Army. Having struggled to cope with Wig’s physical presence and years of…
East Dulwich Sporting Crabs 6 – 4 Brixton Town Armstrong 2, Steffanini, Clarke, Montejo, Akinde MOTM – Steffanini There were fears that the new defensive minded manager James Coventry had made his side too rigid in pre-season. Solid defensive displays were often marred by a lack of chances created and too many draws not converted into…
East Dulwich Sporting Crabs 4-1 Wimbledon Town B Curtis, Montejo, Weyell, Chatham MOTM – Macintyre New Crabs manager James Coventry has made his side hard to beat since taking over but he’s also struggled to find the winning formula. Three of their five pre-season friendly ended level and it was no shock that the opening day…
With the great weather and entertaining World Cup proving a worthy distraction, it’s been a quiet summer for the Crabs as the managerial shake up seems to have gone somewhat under the radar. After a disjointed end to what was a mixed season (what’s new?), there were rumours circulating that Sam Pearson was considering stepping…
After concerns over the weather the evening before and a half-hearted cancellation from the referee, common sense prevailed as the referee confirmed the game would go ahead.
After a dismal 2017 that left The Crabs facing up to the realism of a relegation scrap, it was important that they got off to a good start in what was billed as a survival six pointer.
Whilst the Southern Sunday league’s transfer window never truly closes (or does it? not sure), it’s fun to imagine Sam Pearson was sat round a fax machine into the early hours, thrashing out contracts for new talent. The reality is Sam has been looking at new players in training over the summer and when possible getting them out…
A dismal end to the season followed by a botched awards night – things can only get better Sam Pearson and the Sporting Crabs. With just under two months until the Southern Sunday League kicks off, the hard work will start tonight at Peckham Rye as the manager will look to assess his options. Rumours…
Having been promoted in rather fortunate circumstances, you’d perhaps look at 6th place (out of ten) in a new division as a successful season but this fact doesn’t quite tell the whole story. A closer look at the league table will show you that The Crabs were much more involved in a relegation battle than…
The Crabs trudged off Peckham Rye looking dejected after another 90 minutes without a goal and a missed opportunity to cement fourth spot.
The visitor’s sat one place ahead of The Crabs in third and a win for Pearson’s side would’ve left the two teams equal on points with the Crabs remaining fourth on goal difference. However, it wasn’t to be as The Network reproduced a carbon copy of the result earlier in the month.
After four consecutive away fixtures in the Southern Sunday league, The Crabs finally made their first league appearance of the calendar year at Peckham Rye.
