REPORT | Dulwich Hamlet vs Cray Valley (PM)
An entertaining game, in front of 1,788 fans at Champion Hill, ended 4-2 to high-flying Cray Valley PM, who moved up to second place.
Five of the six goals came in an explosive opening 45 minutes and, with just seven minutes on the clock, it was actually The Hamlet who took the lead.
Jerome Binnom-Willams cleared a Cray corner and found Anthony Jeffrey. The speedy winger was inside his own half, so still had a lot to do. He spun his marker and turned on the afterburners. No one was going to catch him, he drove into the area before crossing for Luke Wanadio, who sidefooted home from near the penalty spot to take his league tally for the season to 16.
Our lead would only last for seven minutes. Dan Bowry drove forward from centre-back and nutmegged a Hamlet defender to find Adam Coombes. The forward, who was just inside the area, took one touch before firing into the corner of the net, giving Dillon Barnes no chance. Cray were now on top and in the 21st minute, a back post corner came off the back of our captain’s head to give the away side the lead with an own goal.
In the 32nd minute, Coombes was at the double to double Cray’s lead. The impressive Andre Coker crossed from the right, Coombes stooped and made no mistake, powering a header into the roof of the net.
As the first half ticked into injury time, Jeffrey was fouled just outside of the area. A committee of Max Hudson, Wanadio and Binnom-Williams formed and thankfully they left it to the captain. He scored at the right end, firing home a 20-yard free-kick to halve the deficit.
The second half was a scrappy affair, with more yellow cards than shots, and it would take until the 80th minute for Cray to put the result beyond doubt, with Matt Vigor scoring a scuffed effort from just inside the box.

REPORT | Dartford vs Dulwich Hamlet
The Hamlet headed to Kent following our 2-2 draw with Lewes in search of 3 more valuable points.
An unchanged Hamlet side started in Kent and would almost have the lead with 3 minutes gone. Jordan Wynter knocked the ball down to Oli Lynch who saw his shot blocked by the keeper.
Two minutes later and Wanadio would almost have us ahead. Jerome Binnom-Williams played a beautiful cross-field pass which Wanadio bought down and cut inside but had his shot saved.
The first half began to quiet down but 10 minutes later Anthony Jeffrey made a driving run and unleashed a shot that went just wide of the post.
Just a minute later though and Dillon Barnes would be called into action for the first time. He made not one, not two but three vital blocks to deny Dartford the lead.
After 21 minutes though it would be Dartford who took the lead against the run of play. Samir Carruthers played the ball into Callum Jones who fired his shot into the roof of the net to put the Darts ahead.
Dartford would have the ball in the back of the net 3 minutes later but Jones strike would be ruled out for offside.
As the half time whistle approached Lynch would go close again for the Hamlet as he connected with a cross but his header went just wide.
On the stroke of half-time it would be Luke Wanadio who would fire the Hamlet deservedly level. He got the ball on the left hand side, cut in and fired his shot into the bottom corner.
It took 18 minutes for the 2nd half to fire into life and it would be Ralfi Hand who bagged his first league goal for the Hamlet. Louis Ramsay picked up a loose ball and squared it to Hand on the edge of the box who smashed his shot home before performing the perfect knee slide to celebrate.
Olly Box would go close 5 minutes later for Dartford as he broke through on goal but he fired his shot wide.
Dartford would level it against the run of play as Ramsay mis-controlled a pass allowed Box to breakthrough and put Dartford level.
Barnes would deny Dartford a winner with 5 minutes to go as both sides chased a winner.
It would finish all square in Dartford as the Hamlet picked up a 2nd 2-2 draw of the week before heading into a busy Christmas period.
