Dulwich attacked straight from the kick off as Nyren Clunis, Daniel Carr & Gavin Tomlin combined but Ashley Carew couldn't control the latter's cross at the far post,

They would have been in front in the 9th minute but for a brilliant reaction save by Nathan McDonald from Danny Carr as struck the ball goal wards from a Nathan Green cross.

However, Dulwich's defence was tentative and Preston Edwards had to be out decisively to take control as the ball bounced around the penalty area.

Carew had a free kick blocked whilst Carr & Clunis also had efforts off target before Enfield began to create more alarm in the defence.

Parcell should have done better with his cross after he had been released on the Enfield right before they took the lead. Nathan Green was adjudged to have committed a foul as a corner came in and ex Hamlet player Billy Crook sent Preston Edwards the wrong way with his spot kick.

The game flowed from end to end without any clear chances but with some impressive passages of attacking play from both sides before Dulwich levelled just as the clock ticked past 45 minutes.

Nathan Green was released down the left and his cross to the far post was met with a looping header from Nyren Clunis.

Half Time 1-1

Dulwich started the second half brightly with Carew firing wide before they came close to taking the lead on the 56th minute. Michael Chambers found Ashley Carew who transferred the ball to Gavin Tomlin who in turn found Daniel Carr but his effort struck the bar.

Ibrahim Kargbo had a header from a corner kicked off the line before Dulwich grabbed what would be the winner just past the hour, Tomlin tormented his full back on the left and delivered a cross to the far post where Michael Chambers nodied it back for Daniel Carr to score from close range.

Enfield pushed for an equaliser and Matt Drage had to block an effort from substitute Bossman and a cross from the left also flashed across goal from a left wing cross,

Dulwich had a good chance to clinch the points with nine minutes remaining as Carr found Clunis but he stumbled over the ball with the goal in sight. Within a minute, the impressive Tomlin got the better of his marker again and this time his cross to the far post saway McDonald produce a fine stop from Matt Drage.

A quick break out saw McDonald produce another fine stop from a Clunis shot and the failure to get the clinching third goal meant there were some anxious moments during 6 minutes of added time, Preston Edwards had to make a fine stop low to his right from a Billy Crook free kick and Mark Weatherstone had to block from a Nigel Neita cross.
