Dulwich will be happy to have taken the 3 points against a home side lacking any of their central strikers, although they will probably feel that with steadier finishing and a little more luck they could have won more comfortably.

Without creating many chances of note in the first half. Dulwich always seemed to hold the upper hand. The first chance arrived in the 7th minute as Peter Adeniyi got to the bye line on the right and pulled the ball across goal. Somehow the ball evaded Harry Ottaway at the far post.

On 16 minutes good play from Erhun Oztumer and Tommy Kavanagh saw Nyren Clunis fire wide and a minute later an Oztumer shot was parried away by home keeper, Rodney Chiweshe.

Phil Wilson only had one moment of alarm as he raced off his line to clear a ball to the left of his goal and was beaten to it. His subsequent foul saw him receive a caution; the covering defenders in the centre saving him from further sanction.

Other than a corner that flashed across the homw goal on 21 minutes there was little of note in terms of goal mouth action until the game entered stoppage time at the end of the first half.

Harry Ottaway flicked the ball into the path of Erhun Oztumer to the left of goal and some 25 yards out. He took the ball wide of a defender and then unleashed a shot across the keeper that crashed off the far post and into the net.

Half Time 0-1

The second half saw Dulwich begin to dominate proceedings more but fail to add the vital second goal that would have meant the travelling army of fans who were in good voice throughout could relax more.

The closest they came was on 55 minutes when from a floated Kevin James free kick, Harry Ottaway rose and crashed a header against the post with Chiweshe beaten.

Chances came and went throughout the half with Harry Ottaway heading wide when well placed and on 78 minutes Ottaway, Oztumer and Samuels all had chances to wrap the game up.

With 2 minutes of stoppage time played, substitute Jerome Walker set off on a run from half way but again he could not beat Chiweshe.

Whilst the home side had plenty of pace in attack they were well marshalled by The Hamlet defence. Phil Wilson had little in the way of threatening shots or crosses to deal with as the home side's striker adsences showed and The Hamlet moved back into the play off places with one game to go.

Full Time 0-1
