Despite hitting the woodwork twice and having an effort cleared off the line, Dulwich slipped to another defeat.

For the Dulwich team visit here.

In front of a season high league crowd of 3132, The Hamlet slipped to another defeat and are looking over their shoulders at the relegation places after an eleventh league game without a win dating back to August. However, Dulwich should have taken something from this match as they missed a number of presentable chances and struck the frame of the goal twice.

The Hamlet had the first effort on goal in the 7th minute as Dominic Vose fizzed a low effort just wide, whilst Lewis White was crowded out following a clever flick from Danny Mills. Mills came within inches of giving Dulwich a 14th minute lead as Nyren Clunis crossed low across the six yard box and any touch from the incoming Mills would have seen The Hamlet lead.

Despite dominating possession Dulwich nearly fell behind on the half hour as Charlie Grainger rushed out to tackle the onrushing Moore. The ball fell to Robinson, but Richard Orlu blocked his effort. As the half came to a close, The Hamlet should have gone in front as Lewis White met a cross from the right at the far post and his effort came back off the post, with David Ijaha's follow up being cleared off the line.

Half Time 0-0

White was unlucky again just three minutes into the second half as he was sent clear on the left and clipped an effort past Julian but off the far post and out. However, a series of slips soon presented Billericay with the lead. Nyren Clunis gave the ball away to Alfa and just when it seemed the danger had passed, his cross found Robinson to control and stab the ball past Grainger.

It was Lewis White who brought a fine save from Julian on the hour, with the keeper diving at the feet of Danny Mills to keep out the follow up, although Mills was flagged offside.

Robinson shot too high at the far post in a rare attack from the visitors, with both Mills and Orlu heading too high for The Hamlet. However, despite all their pressure, and Billericay having Kefalas sent off in the 85th minute for a second yellow card,Dulwich couldn't create a clear sight of goal and, in fact, Grainger saved from Alfa and Robinson late on.

The final whistle heralded another defeat and it is now no league wins since August.
