PREVIEW | Canvey Island vs Dulwich Hamlet | 07/09/24
Dulwich will look to put their FA Cup exit behind them on Saturday afternoon as they head to Essex to take on Canvey Island FC.
The Hamlet head to the seaside to take on a Canvey Side who have picked up 1 win in the league when they defeated newly promoted Bowers & Pitsea on Bank Holiday Monday.
Last weekend the Gulls came from behind to defeat Milton Keynes Irish in the FA Cup the same side who knocked out island rivals Concord Rangers in the previous round of the competition.
Dulwich head to Essex with a defeat in the FA Cup to Leatherhead most recently following an 85th minute penalty in a replay on Tuesday night.
They'll be boosted by the return of Jordan Wynter who could make his first competitive appearance for the side following his arrival from Dartford in the summer. He was on the bench on Tuesday night during our defeat to Leatherhead.
Max Hudson is another name that could feature following his competitive debut on Tuesday night. The full back replaced Jerome Binnom-Williams after he failed a late fitness test on Tuesday afternoon. Hudson almost marked his debut with a goal following an impressive run forward but his shot was blocked.
Louis Ramsay has returned to training and could in contention for his 1st start since arriving in the summer.
Ross Marshall remains an injury doubt and we'll provide an update on him when we have it. Sam German is also a major doubt following his injury against Chatham over the bank holiday weekend.
Apart from that the Hamlet will be firing on all cylinders aiming to return from our first seaside away day of the 24/25 season with 3 points.
We caught up with Hak at training earlier this week, you can see what he had to say here.

PREVIEW | Leatherhead vs Dulwich Hamlet
The Hamlet face a visit to old rivals Leatherhead tonight aiming for the 2nd qualifying round of the 24/25 FA Cup and a visit to fellow Isthmian Premier division side Dartford on September 14th.
These 2 sides met on Saturday afternoon with the Hamlet coming from behind in the dying minutes to secure a replay at Fetcham Grove tonight.
It could have been a whole different story though for the Hamlet. Jerome Binnom-Williams missed the chance to fire the Hamlet ahead early on with a penalty, however he'd make up for it minutes later with a trademark strike from the edge of the box nestling nicely into the bottom corner firing the Hamlet ahead.
Leatherhead would turn the tie on it's head in the 2nd half with 2 goals in quick sueccesion putting them within touching distance of a place in the next round.
It was Anthony Jeffrey who would rescue the Hamlet again in the final minutes as he fired the Hamlet level with an audacious strike from the edge of the box that found the top corner.
Dulwich will head to the Surrey hills without Ross Marshall following his injury in the 1st half on Saturday afternoon. Louis Ramsay and Jordan Wynter are close to returning with Max Hudson and Kaya Hansson also in with a chance of featuring for the 1st time this season.
The winner of this evenings game will face a trip to North Kent to take on Dartford FC in the 2nd Qualifying round of the 24/25 FA Cup. The tie is due to be played on Saturday 14th September with a 3pm kick-off.

PREVIEW | Dulwich Hamlet vs Leatherhead | | 31/08/24
The Hamlet finish a packed August schedule by taking on old rivals Leatherhead in the 1st Qualifying Round of the 24/25 Emirates FA Cup.
These 2 sides were close to meeting in the Isthmian League Premier this season before Leatherhead suffered a shock play-off final defeat last season.
The Hamlet's recent history in the FA Cup isn't one to get excited about. Last year we were taken to a replay by Haringey Borough in the 1st Qualifying round before being dumped out of the competition in North London. Leatherhead also exited at the same stage last season taking Horsham to a replay before exiting the competition.
The Hamlet will be looking to pick up from where they left off on Monday as goals from George Porter and Anthony Jeffrey secured victory over Cray Wanderers in front of over 2200 at Champion Hill. You can take a watch of the highlights here.
