Dulwich Hamlet can consider themselves fortunate to have progressed to the semi final of the London Senior Cup last night, after doing just about enough to overcome Fisher FC at the St Paul’s Sports Ground.
With Fisher missing a couple of absolute sitters in a second half they completely dominated, the full time score of 1-1 led to a penalty shoot out, which Hamlet won 4-2.
There’s a lovely walk from Canada Water to the stadium.
Panda in a tree.
On the Hamlet forum, fans added their observations:
BD: We didn’t play well, and should really have been ripping them apart given the league disparity, but its another match that we would have lost a few weeks ago, so on that basis I’m not going to complain.
Good set up for a small club but a perilous warning for those in charge of the new stadium – there has to be room right around the stadium for supporters, with decent vantage points, and some cover.
There was only a 1.5m width of flat tarmac behind one goal and all the way along the far side.
Which made it almost impossible to create an atmosphere in the second half while the Fisher fans were able to get right into it. Just a little extra room, and a bit of terracing, was all it needed.
MG: Thought they battered us second half and we had barely any attacking threat.
Their player had to produce something incredible to hit the bar when it was easier to score. Good penalties with Toby from sinner to saint in two kicks
Boosted by a large travelling Dulwich contingent, the crowd of 589 was Fisher’s biggest crowd of the season so far.
The ground is overlooked by towering bastions of capitalism.
Curious ball design.
This guy thought it would be a good idea to continually batter the Perspex screen throughout the game.
Untroubled by any desire to provide a rhythmic backing to chants breaking out nearby, his random, rattling cacophony was like listening to a percussive Tourette’s onslaught.
While we were enjoying an impromptu group chat with fellow photographers, Geoffrey Okonkwo had the audacity to take the lead for Hamlet when we weren’t ready.
Half time: Fisher 0-1 Hamlet.
Fisher deservedly equalised in the 49th minute.
Fisher missed a couple of stone cold sitters in the second half.
The Beautiful South’s Paul Heaton has provided generous support to Fisher over the years.
We can vouch for the fella too – we met way back in the distant past and hewas a splendid fella.
Ghostly faces on t’other side of the fence.
Ball. Face.
Face. Ball.
Full time 1:1.
The penalty shoot out begins.
