Carshalton Athletic 1-5 Dulwich Hamlet

Dulwich completed their pre season preparations with another comprehensive victory during which Dumebi Dumaka took his pre season goal tally to eight

Dulwich named a strong starting line up, giving Nana Boakye-Yiadom & Ralph Kottoy a further chance to impress from the start. However, Dulwich were without both Ashley Carew and Ibrahim Kargbo.

Quade Taylor took up the right sided defensive role with Anthony Acheampong & Michael Chambers to his left. Kottoy and Beaney filled central midfield, Clunis and Green roamed up the flanks with Tomlin and Dumaka the forwards.

Dulwich almost took the lead in the opening minute as Nathan Green burst on to a Gavin Tomlin pass but saw his fierce shot blocked. However, it didn't take long for Dulwich to go in front. A long ball forward by Anthony Acheampong released Nana Boakye-Yiadom and he used speed and strength to get clear and poke the ball past Kozakis in the home goal.

Dulwich controlled the tempo of the match without threatening to increase the lead, whilst Carshalton were unable to threaten the Dulwich goal until the 22nd minute. Even then Bradford saw his free kick blocked.

Dulwich created two good chances to increase the lead in the 28th minute. Firstly, Nyren Clunis beat McLaughlin before delivering a cross that was cleared for a corner. From the resulting corner Nathan Green saw his shot blocked.

Dulwich doubled their lead in the 32nd minute when a Gavin Tomlin cross resulted in Michael Chambers outjumping the keeper and, although he could only direct his header away from goal, Dumebi Dumaka thumped the ball high into the net on the volley.

A 35th minute cross from Clunis was in front of every Dulwich player, whilst for the home team Campbell saw a smart effort deflected wide.

Dulwich came close to adding a third goal on the stroke of half time. Another ball forward by Anthony Acheampong created hesitation and confusion but whilst Clunis lifted his effort over the stranded keeper he also saw it go wide of the far post.

Half Time 0-2

Within a minute of the restart Dulwich almost added a third but Clunis blazed too high when well placed and, almost immediately, Carshalton came close to pulling a goal back. A cross from the Dulwich right was met by a volley from Michael Chambers that Preston Edwards somehow managed to keep out to spare his blushes.

Murphy-Mcvey saw an effort from distance graze the post in the 52nd minute but Dulwich went three in front just two minutes later. Dumaka was brought down 20 yards out and Tomlin saw his low free kick beat the keeper via a significant deflection off the wall.

Carshalton did pull a goal back in the 56th minute as Mickel Miller took advantage of some weak tackles to force his way into the box and fire past Edwards.

Rickie Hayles than missed a chance to add a fourth when he headed over from an unmarked header just six yards out, following a pinpoint cross from Beaney.

Dulwich did add a fourth in the 72nd minute.A ball down the Carshalton left saw Dumebi Dumaka hold off Tony Sinclair before cutting in and lashing his shot high into the net.

Carshalton struck the bar following good work down their right whilst a mazy run from Dulwich substitute Muhammadu Faal saw his shot blocked.

Dulwich did add a fifth in stoppage time when Mohamed Mohamed played a perfect through ball into the path of Muhammadu Faal who finished cconfidently.
