Dulwich Hamlet 2-1 Dagenham & Redbridge

Stunning goals from Jacob Erskine & Ashley Carew gave The Hamlet their first pre season victory.

Dulwich recorded a won over their League Two opponents despite falling behind early on.

They were almost behind in the very first minute as keeper Zaki Oualah cleared straight to a Daggers forward but recovered to comfortably save the effort.

A ninth minute slip from Danny Waldren saw Matt Drage have to get back to clear the effort from Montroae off the line but the reprieve was short lived as the resultant corner was headed in at the far post by Nosworthy.

Dulwich pressed forward looking for an equaliser and within a minute Albert Jarrett had a good chance but finished weakly. Damian Scannell then almost caught a defender in possession before a long ball over the top led to a 15th minute equaliser. Jacob Erskine being sent clear and calmly lobbing over O'Brien.

The game was end to end as Scannell & Jarrett both had half chances whilst Matt Drage and Ethan Pinnock thwarted dangerous attacks from the visitors.

Matt Drage brought a good save out of O'Brien as his goalbound header from a Jarrett free kick looked to be creeping inside the far post.

Right on half time, Nyren Clunus was brought down some 25 yards out and Ashley Carew curled a stunning free kick over the wall and past the scrambling Daggers keeper.

HalfTime 2-1

The first chance of the second period came as Danny Waldren put in a low cross from the right that nobody anticipated and the chance was gone.

As the inevitable raft of substitutions came Dagenham got back on top but their attacks floundered on the twin defensive rocks of Pinnock & Drage.

An uncharacteristic error from Matt Drage saw Jamue Cureton left in space but Oualah saved well. From the resulting corner both Danny Waldren & Ashley Carew cleared efforts from Nosworthy off the line.

Oualah did well to tip over a long range effort from Chambers and, at the other end, Jordan Robertson saw his low effort hit the post as Dulwich held on comfortably for the win.
