A Dulwich side showing a number of changes from Tuesday's defeat against Tonbridge Angels produced a much improved performance to record a comfortable win.

Following a slow start, the game came to life with a surging run by Nathan Green that saw him find Reise Allassani whose effort was deflected for a corner. Allassani then saw visiting keeper Huk make a fine save low to his right from an 11th minute effort.

Huk made another fine save in the 16th minute when Gavin Tomlin got away on the left and tried to chip him. Two minutes later Rickie Hayles headed against the bar from an Ashley Carew free kick.

However, The Hamlet almost fell behind a minute later when Sanchez M|ing left his header back to Amadou Tangara short, but the Dulwich keeper was quickly off his line to smother. The Dulwich keeper then made a smart save from a shot on the turn by Sole as Dorking began to create more chances.

A long ball forward by Nathan Ferguson saw Huk come out of the penalty area to volley clear, but he sliced his clearance. However, Gavin Tomlin couldn't take advantage.

Dulwich took the lead in the 32nd minute when Ashley Carew won the ball some 25 yards from goal. He threaded a pass to Reise Allassani whose shot beat Huk to his left.

The remainder of the half was fairly even with Dorking missing the best chance with a far post header that failed to trouble Tangara.

Half Time 1-0

The Hamlet were quickly out of the blocks after half time and went two ahead just four minutes into the half. Nathan Green surged into the penalty area and was clipped from behind. Ashley Carew's penalty wasn't the best he has ever taken but it slipped under Huk low to his left.

Three minutes later The Hamlet went three goals in front, this time Gavin Tomlin found Nathan Green who hammered an effort low and hard across Huk and into the left corner of his goal.

A raft of substitutions followed to rest some vital players and one of those, Marc Weatherstone added the fourth goal with twelve minutes remaining. An Ashley Carew corner fell to him and he stabbed the ball home at the second attempt.

With the game safe, Dulwich almost added a fifth when Dumebi Dumaka stabbed the ball wide following a pass from Nathan Green, whilst N|yren Clunis fired across goal after a pass from Marc Weatherstone.

Final Score 4-0
