CRYSTAL PALACE DEVELOPMENT SQUAD IN ACTION AT CHAMPION HILL TODAY

Dulwich Hamlet are hosting Crystal Palace Under 23 this afternoon as they face Coventry City in the Professional Development League

The Crystal Palace Under 23s will be looking to arrest a run of three straight defeats this afternoon when they face their counterparts from the Sky Blues as they return to Champion Hill for the third of nine games to be played at Champion Hill. The previous games here have produced some thrilling football and a host of goals that began with a 2-2 draw against Barnsley. That game saw a flurry of late goals as the young Tykes scored twice in two minutes to take a what seemed a commanding lead only for strikes from Levi Lumeka and Corie Andrews at death to secure the Eaglets a late point. At home to Hull City there was less drama but just as many goals with Randell Williams and Aaron Wan-Bissaka had putting Palace firmly in control just after half-time before Belgian striker Jonathan Benteke, younger brother of Christian, netted his side’s third as the Eagles claimed their third win in their six league matches up to that point. Since then results have been disappointing, a 5-0 reverse away to Birmingham City followed futher defeats going down 2-0 to Huddersfield Town at Selhurst Park and 1-0 away to South London rivals Millwall. Hopefully a return to the fields of Champion Hill may bring the young Eagles some much needed good fortune!

Admission today is via the main turnstiles which are open from 12.15pm, prices £4 for Adults, £2 for all the usual Dulwich Hamlet Concessions with Under 13s FREE. Kick off is at 1.00pm
