The Hamlet's poor home form continued as Bognor Regis Town became the latest team to leave Champion Hill with all three points.

Bognor claimed Matt Drage had blocked a 7th minute shot with his hand whilst Doug Tuck volleyed too high. As Dulwich struggled to put any coherent play together, Mark Weatherstone had to make a fine tackle to thwart James Fraser.

Therefore, it was no real surprise when Bognor took the lead. A sumptuous cross from the left was bundled in at the far post by James Fraser.

However, within 3 minutes the scores were level. Nyren Clunis crossed from the right, Daniel Carr let it run and Ibra Sekajja swept the ball home to score with his first goal for the club,

However, Bognor regained the lead just 8 minutes later. Matt Drage was turned easily by Alex Parsons and he was allowed to run at goal until Mark Weatherstone sent him crashing in the box, Ollie Pearce confidently beat Preston Edwards from the spot.

Nyren Clunis was too high with a header after a good move down the right and Ibra Sekajja wasted a swift break but it was Bognor who went closest as the half came to a close. Preston Edwards made a sharp save from Jimmy Wild whilst Drage had to clear a shot off the line.

Half Time 1-2

The second half saw Bognor protect what they had whilst always looking to break forward. Wild was brought down right on the edge of the box but Alex Parsons free kick was deflected over off the wall.

Ibra Sekajja then had a good chance to level in the 56th minute when Ashley Carew lobbed the ball to the back post, but Lincoln in the Bognor goal blocked low down.

It was soon Dulwich's turn to claim a penalty as Kevin James had an effort blocked with what appeared to be a hand. However, Bognor almost scored a third when a cross to the far post was cushioned by Parsons and Pearce hit a volley that struck the bar.

Wild then wasted a good chance for the visitors when he fired straight at Preston Edwards as the visitors looked to seal victory.

Bignor added a controversial third in the 89th minute when James Crane cut in from the left to beat Edwards at his near post. However, it appeared that Wild, who set him up, played the ball through after originally being offside.

In stoppage time, Dulwich came close to pulling a goal bavk; Gavin Tomlin striking a free kick that struck the inside of the post.

Final Score 1-3
