After two previous postponements, Dulwich Hamlet finally got to take on Whitehawk in the Isthmian League Premier Division last night, and the 628 fans in attendance were rewarded with plenty of goal action.

Dulwich fell behind after an early Whitehawk goal, but then responded in style, netting four goals by half time – only for the visitors to claw back two goals in the second half.

Despite Whitehawk frantically looking for the equaliser in the last quarter, Hamlet held on to bag all three points.

Fans reflected on the 90 minutes in the Hamlet forum:

AT: Well that was rather close. 4-1 at HT I thought flattered us a bit, I don’t recall their keeper making a save, and they had a couple of good chances.

That said, there were three very good goals in the half, two Robben style cut ins for us (Raymond and Talla) and their goal was a scissor kick from a long throw!

The second half was frankly, carnage. Fair to say the ref lost control, and scissor kick guy got a post FT red… TL;DR: it was worth attending on third time of asking!

AW: It’s remarkable how much more robust Whitehawk’s players were when they went behind, their powers of recovery suddenly went through the roof.

It’s fair to say PP isn’t a fan of Whitehawk:

A mad game in which Hamlet were on fire for the final 25 minutes of the first half, in which we scored 4 times after conceding the first goal.

We did our best to let them back in just before half-time when a terrible backpass put their big lump of a #9 clear down the middle, with only Bull to beat and all the time in the world, but hilariously he shot wide.

We didn’t turn up for the start of the second half and it was back to 4-3 with 25 minutes to go, although we managed to hold out after that despite the referee giving them an unfeasible number of free kicks and somehow awarding them a corner after Bull was clattered in mid air as he stretched to catch a lofted free kick down the middle.

Kassarate was booked for a perfectly clean tackle on the halfway line, with Whitehawk players appearing to be begging for the red card and being vigorously told to go away by the referee as soon as the yellow came out of his pocket.

If Whitehawk were shithouses in victory at their place they were utterly graceless in defeat tonight.

There was a commotion in the centre circle at the final whistle as they harangued the officials and I was told two of their players got red cards, in which case they’ll be suspended from next Tuesday.

Good. They should have played us two months ago when they had the chance instead of moaning about the pitch until the referee called it off. Bastards.
