Fresh from two midweek victories, Dulwich went into the game with renewed confidence, but with yet more injuries. With Preston Edwards and Michael Onovwigun still out, they were joined by Ashley Carew and Ibrahim Kargbo in missing this fixture. In addition, Reise Allassani succumbed to the effects of Tuesday's injury after just 9 minutes.

After a slow start, Dulwich almost feel behind in the 9th minute when Billy Hunt beat the offside trap but produced a weak lobbed finish that was easily saved by Corey Addai. It was another 10 minutes before Dulwich managed to fashion a move of any quality, but Nyren Clunis was just unable to get on the end of a fantastic cross from Dipo Akinyemi.

Duwlich did take the lead in the 27th minute with a first senior goal for Caio Guimares, who has earlier replaced Allassani. He waltzed through the home defence and finished confidently past home keeper Bradbrook.

Five minutes later, Dipo Akinyemi should have made it two but he shot wide with just Bradbrook to beat having been sent throiugh by Nyren Clunis and they would rue that miss before half time when Jake Turner scored with an unstoppable volley from 30 yards

Half Time 1-1

Dulwich were quickly into their stride after the break and regained the lead in the 52nd minute. Dipo Akinyemi took advatage of a misplaced pass and cut in from the right before scoring off the inside of the post.

After this, Dulwich should have put the match to bed with Nyren Clunis hitting the side netting and Dipo Akinyemi having an effort blocked as the home side struggled to create any real threat.

However, they were to rescue a point with another long range strike from Aaron Condon in the 82nd minute. Advancing forward unchallenged, he thumped an effort that beat Addai low to his left.

Final Score 2-2
