Hands across the Channel

Last weekend, with our season being over, Mishi Morath, Mark Hutton & Paul Griffin made the trip to the lovely port of Dieppe, by boat from Newhaven, to cheer on our friends from Red Star.
The final score was Dieppe 2 Red Star 2 & if you look at this English report of the match & scroll down to the fourth photo you will see a snap of us with our Hamlet flags!
We were made really welcome, once again, by the Red Star fans, who seem to think we are rather crazy crossing over the Channel to cheer them on.
It was back in March 2005 that we actually travelled over to Paris for the first time to play Red Star supporters'. This was our fourth foreign tour, our inaugrial one to France, and our first ever full eleven a side match abroad. It was a wonderful day from start to finish, as we won the supporters' game 3-2, thanks to a superb Lawrence Marsh hat-trick. We were treated to a meal afterwards & were then guests at their First Team match later on. Without a doubt it is the most wonderful and emotional day I have ever experienced in all my years as a humble member of "The Rabblers".
