VENUES
From January 2011 we have again had the use of the sports ground in Turney Road now renamed the Dulwich Sports Ground. Formerly run by the London South Bank University this 22 acre cricket, rugby and football ground is now managed by the Southwark Community Sports Trust of which Lambeth & Southwark Primary Schools Football is a founder member. http://www.dulwichsportsground.com
For 2011/12 we are therefore in the fortunate position of having the use of both the Rosendale Playing Fields and the Dulwich Sports Ground. http://www.dulwichsportsground.com
