There was only one change from the team that drew at Enfield Town with Kadell Daniel starting and Gavin Tomlin on the bench.

Dulwich started on the front foot and could have been ahead in the opening minute. Daniel Carr's pass gave Ibra Sekajja a clear sight of goal but his effort was blocked for a corner. From the resulting set piece Mark Weatherstone had a shot saved by home keeper Jamie Waite low to his left.

Lowestoft immediately created a chance of their own but a cross to the far post was met with a weak effort that went tamely wide.

Dulwich were managing to find space on the flanks behind the home defence but it was a defensive error that led to the 12th minute breakthrough. Home defender Rory McAuley saw his pass intercepted by Nyren Clunis who then ran clear, rounded Waite and slotted into the empty net.

The game settled into a pattern of Dulwich setting up to be difficult to break down whist looking to break quickly on their opponents and this meant the next chance for the home side didn't come until the 25th minute. Preston Edwards had a clearance charged down but he retrieved the situation by punching away as the ball looped towards his goal,

Ibra Sekajja had a chance to increase the lead but he tried to set up Daniel Carr when he may have been better served going for goal himself.

Lowestoft then had a good chance when Nathan Green was adjudged to have fouled his opponent inches outside the box but, like almost every ball all evening, Matt Drage headed the free kick clear.

Nyren Clunis was then brought down in a similar situation and position at the other end. Kadell Daniel saw his free kick pushed out by Waite and Daniel Carr couldn't seize on the rebound. Lowestoft then broke out against a short handed Dulwich defence but Sanchez Ming covered the danger as he came across from his right back slot to snuff out the danger.

As the half came to a close, Ibra Sekajja headed a Nyren Clunis cross too high,

Half Time 0-1

The second half saw Dulwich press early but it was Preston Edwards who was forced into making the first save low to his right three minutes in.

Daniel Carr then got clear on the Dulwich right but Ibra Sekajja & Kadell Daniel both passed up the 50th minute opportunity. However, two minutes later Carr seized on more slack defending to curl a shot around Waite and into the far corner to double the lead.

A brilliant stop high to his right by Waite in the home goal kept out a Kadell Daniel effort, otherwise the game would have been over as a contest before the hour.

Dulwich had their one let off in the 63rd minute as a free kick was pumped into the box and, as the ball was smashed goalwards, Preston Edwards was unable to hold it but he took enough pace off the shot to allow Kadell Daniel to clear off the line.

Daniel Carr then shot wide when well placed and Preston Edwards had to be quick off his line to thwart Henderson as he broke through.

With the match entering 5 minutes of added time, Nyren Clunis set up Roman Michael-Percil but he blazed over when a simple pass would have left Ashley Carew with a tap in. However, Clunis then seized on another defensive error some 35 yards out and ran clear to seal an emphatic victory.

This was a complete team performance but the back four were outstanding with Mark Weatherstone marshalling them superbly and the midfield forcing errors from the home team.

Final Score 0-3
