Dulwich Hamlet’s Danny Mills is on power list
Dulwich Hamlet striker Danny Mills has been named on the 2021 Football Black List.
The names were decided by a panel of experts from the Premier League, Professional Footballers’ Association, League Managers’ Association, EFL and anti-racism group Kick It Out.
Mills was named as one of the Winners in the Practitioners category, for his work as an educator with anti-racism charity Show Racism the Red Card.
Mills has also helped to launch the ‘Shout Out for Mental Health’ campaign, to raise money and awareness for mental health charity MIND and support players and supporters through the pandemic.
He is on the Kick It Out Players Advisory Board.
Mills said: “I feel so humbled and honoured to join a list of incredible individuals doing such amazing work in football.
“I’ve managed to do things I never saw myself doing this time last year. It’s amazing what can be achieved in a short period of time and I know that this is just the beginning of a fantastic journey.”
Mills has four goals in seven National League South appearances this season.
Hamlet host seventh-placed Hampton & Richmond tomorrow.
The visitors are one place and one point ahead of the Champion Hill outfit but have played one game more.
Hamlet and fourth-placed Maidstone cancelled each other out in the National League South on Tuesday.
This came after a 2-1 victory at struggling Braintree Town on Saturday.
Jordan Green opened the scoring in the 10th minute and Quade Taylor doubled the lead 22 minutes later.
Tom Derry pulled one back for the hosts with 20 minutes to go but that was not enough to stop Rose’s side taking home all the points.
Greneda international Ricky German has signed on loan from League Two Crawley Town until January.
The 22-year-old started his career at Chesterfield, before moving to Southern League Premier South side Hendon and scored 21 goals there in 28 games in the 2018/19 season.
He made his Crawley Town bow in January 2019.
He had a sixth-month loan spell at Hemel Hempstead until January 2020.
He featured in the 2021 Gold Cup for Grenada alongside new Dulwich teammate Tyrone Sterling.
Centre-back Ronnie Vint has also arrived on loan from Dartford for his second temporary stint at Champion Hill in two years.
Welling United who are 17th in the 21-side division, host second-from-bottom Billericay tomorrow needing to get back on track after two wins in 10 matches.
Winger Danny Parish arrived last week from Wealdstone. The 23 year-old can also play as a centre-forward but has yet to hit the net.
Defender Maxwell Statham, 21,who was at the Spurs academy, also signed from Hornchurch.
But they could not avert a 3-2 home defeat by Hampton & Richmond on Tuesday.
Peter Taylor’s side were 2-0 up half an hour but conceded three times in seven second-half minutes.
The Wings’ strikes came in the 15th minute from Kristan Campbell and in the 32nd minute from Ade Shokunbi.
Taylor told Welling TV: “First half performance was very good. We got 2-0 up against very very good side so I was pleased with that. I knew they would be massive test in the second half but unfortunately we didn’t do so well defensively. We lost momentum when they got their first goal.
“Our first goal was well worked with a very good delivery from a corner and a good header. The second one was a good attacking move where Dipo did well again.
“But any team that is 2-0 down at halftime, there will be a reaction. I said if they are get anything, make sure they have to earn it. But their strikes weren’t great Goals. It was quite frustrating.
“But there was a lot more pluses than on Saturday and we have to learn from the mistakes.
“We’re at the wrong end of the table because of the way we played in the first 45 minutes against Hemel. But we recovered in that game to draw 1-1 and Danny Carr converted the penalty well.”
Bromley host Halifax Town tomorrow in the Conference Premier, after their seven-game winning run ended with a 1-1 draw at Notts County on Tuesday.
County took the lead through a Kyle Cameron wonder goal seconds after the break but Michael Cheek levelled for the visitors with 10 minutes left.
A long Luke Coulson free-kick was headed across goal by Chris Bush to James Alabi.
His shot was blocked and Cheek grabbed his 10th of the season from the rebound.
Tooting & Mitcham, who do not play this weekend, were 2-0 up at half-time at Uxbridge on Saturday, thanks to goals from Williams and Stewart, but they were hit by a backlash in the second half as the hosts hit three to take all the points.
