Four two to the hamlet final score. They picked it up a LOT in the second half

That was one hell of a game. Attendance: 712

Good pics. I think it was Marc-Anthony Okoye who scored the fourth though - Adeniyi got the little flicked header at the near post to set it up.

4-2 win against an until then unbeaten side, even though we don't have a striker and played very badly in the first half. Not bad at all. Videos of Hamlet's goals against Lewes: 1-0, 2-1, 3-1 and 4-2.

Good comment from a Lewes fan on Twitter:

James Boyes ‏@Gingeraction6 Oct
I liked the vibe at Dulwich Hamlet today. Nice ground, smart team colours and the fans see the game of football the way we do at @Lewes_cfc

And look at the table: after Arsenal's draw yesterday, we must be one of the form teams in the entire country

 

[vornstyle76]

Not sure I like this Lewes attempt to lure us into mutual cocksucking after they were deservedly vanquished. They seem to forget we only watch football cos bearbaiting, cockfighting and weaselramming are illegal. The Catholic-burning prod bastards.

Away in the FA Cup this sat. The 758 bus from Victoria goes close to Hemel Hempstead's ground, though it's a Green Line so it's £10 return. If Margate in the previous round is anything to go by it'll be a brilliant atmosphere. Oooh, and the ground's got cover at both ends.

I'm mulling over this match....

 

[Brixton Hatter]

Hemel are on a cracking run of form - top of their table (the Southern Premier Division - the same level in the league pyramid as the Isthmian Premier league we're in) and have won about 8-10 games in a row like we have. Should be a good test. Whoever wins will be in the draw for the 4th qualifying round of the FA Cup, where the Conference big boys come in......(like my 'other team' Luton Town )...and one game away from the first round proper.

 

[editor]

Is anyone going to this? Depending on how monster my Friday night is (and how arduous the journey to Hemel-land will be), I might give it a go.

 

[editor]

You can get a direct train from Balham (one hour) and then it's a jaunty walk to the ground.

Hmm. Bit of a schlep.

Tempted, but I'm supposed to be going to Luton. Might still change my mind though.

You can get a train from Euston - takes 24 mins. Bit cheaper than the Balham train too. (Quite a walk from Hemel station to the ground iirc.)

 

[vornstyle76]

There's a bus from Watford Junction which goes about 5 min walk from the ground.

To whet your appetites: http://www.hemeltoday.co.uk/sport/f...e-fa-cup-clash-1-5575003#.UlgDL_rsbow.twitter 1,000+ crowd expected, apparently. And to not wet your heads, the luxury of cover behind both goals.

 

[editor]

I'm on my way! Hardcore etc.

 

[editor]

Hemel player commits nasty foul. "You dirty northern bastard" sing the Hamlet crowd

 

[editor]

Tight game and lively fans at both ends. Proper FA Cup atmosphere!

 

[editor]

Hemel are a good team. This is going to be a tough one.

 

[editor]

1-1. Sublime chip from the Turkish wonder put us 1-0 up. Hemel equalise with a goal after the ref fails to blow for an obvious foul. Grrr.

 

[editor]

I chested the ball back onto the field of play with some panache there.

Hamlet are playing a blinder with a great crowd behind them.

 

[Brixton Hatter]

BT Sport cameras at the game, look forward to seeing replay of Erhun's goal!

 

[sleaterkinney]

Score?

 

[editor]

We've gone off the boil a bit. We're losing 1-2.

 

[editor]

Couple of ace saves from Phil. We're hanging on here.

 

[editor]

1-3. Arse.

 

[editor]

Quality bit of old school civil disobedience against petty stewarding there.

 

[vornstyle76]

Our reaction to the stewarding saved the game for me. One minute we were depressed at meekly heading out of the Cup, the next we were singing and dancing and properly irrationally proud to be DHFC.

I was all set to commend Hemel's support who are the first fans to outsing us in quite a while, but on the way out I heard such hatefully casual racism I now just think they're a bunch of cunts.

Oh really? That is disappointing . Please post up more details.
