Dulwich suffered a shock defeat to a previously out of form Harrow who defended well, rode their luck and took their chance when it came.

This was a game that Dulwich dominated from the off but where the one goal went to the home side with a rare strike on goal.

Dulwich pressurised the home side from the off and the first effort on goal came ftom Matt Drage whose 20 yard effort was partied by Hudnott in the home goal.

The keeper then saved well from a Waldren effort whilst Nyren Clunis was denied when clear by a fine block from Anthony Page. Matt Drage played a fine ball to Rhys Murrell-Williamson but he failed to control it.

Having weathered the first half an hour when they could barely get out of their own half, Harrow visibly grew in confidence and managed to stem the flow of attacks without ever really testing the Dulwich defence up to the break

Half Time 0-0

The second half saw Harrow mount some early attacks although Phil Wilson was untroubled. Clunis missed a presentable chance when set up by Waldren before Harrow almost took the lead in the 5th minute. Marc Charles-Smith was played through the middle and lifted the ball past the advancing Wilson only to see Ethan Pinnock get back to clear off the line.

However, Harrow would have more luck with their next effort. Dulwich failed to clear a corner properly and Joshua Webb thumped his effort past the despairing dive of Wilson to give the home side a 62nd minute lead.

This was the cue for Dulwich to create, and miss, enough chances to rescue at least a point as they failed to find the killer touch. First, Ethan Pinnock knocked a fine diagonal ball to Nyren Clunis but he couldn't lift it past the advancing keeper.

With 20 minutes left Clunis retrieved a ball on the left byline and found Damian Scannell in the middle but somehow Page got across to block his goalbound effort.

Okenabirhie wasted a good chance on the break for the home side in a rare foray forward before Dulwich wasted any number of chances to pull level. Clunis twisted his way into a good shooting position but scuffed his shot and Scannell put a header over from no more than 3 yards out.

The miss of the night came with 6 minutes emailing as Scannell directed a header that seemed certain to go in, and certainly Ryan Moss believed it would as he could have stretched to put it in, but instead it veered wide.

Ethan Pinnock knocked the ball down but Clunis drove wide and even Phil Wilson knocked a great ball into the box from half way; Pinnock winning the header against the keeper but the ball falling kindly for Harrow to hack clear.

Final Score 1-0
