A hat track from Ade Yusuff helped Dulwich to a comfortable London Senior Cup victory.

For Dulwich line-up visit here

There was a competitive debut for Charlie Grainger in goal and a first look at recent signings Jarvis Edobor and Amos Nasha in a much changed line-up.

This was a game Dulwich dominated and with better finishing they could have won by far more. Ade Yusuff saw a 15th minute effort blocked and the follow up effort from Connor Hunte was blocked on the line, whilst a Ben Chapman free kick was kept out by a flying save from Nic Taylor in the opposition goal. Yusuff then saw a goal ruled out by a tight offside before giving Dulwich a 26th minute lead as he finished smartly after a good lay off from Ben Chapman.

Yusuff turned provider for the second goal in the 37th minute when he played the ball into the path of Connor Hunte who lifted it over the keeper. However, before half time came, Charlie Grainger produced a fine save from Green to ensure Dulwich went to the break two goals ahead.

Half Time 2-0

Yusuff managed to put the ball wide from no more than four yards out just three minutes after the break and then blasted wide when well placed., whilst Connor Hunte couldn't produce a composed finish after a long run from midfield. Jamie Splatt missed from close range when it looked easier to score before a third goal arrived in the 63rd minute.

Kieran Monlouis picked the ball up in midfield and threaded a perfect pass through to Ade Yusuff who rounded the keeper to score. He then missed a chance to complete a hat-trick from an Amos Nasha cross and was thwarted by the keeper following a barnstorming run from midfield.

However, the next goal came in the 78th minute from Nahum Green , as the visitors most impressive forward bundled Aaron Barnes off the ball and produced a composed finish, but the three goal lead was soon restored when, just three minutes later, Yusuff completed his hat trick after sweeping home a cross from Lewis White.

White curled an effort wide and Ben Chapman was thwarted by a good save from Taylor before Dominic Vose added a fifth goal in the last minute. Picking up the ball 25 yards out, he drifted infield and curled an effort around the visiting keeper to complete the scoring.

Final Score 5-1
