DULWICH Hamlet are up to fourth in the Isthmian League Premier Division table after their 5-2 win at home to Horsham last weekend. 

Dulwich were 3-0 up at the break thanks to a double from Danny Mills and Louis Ramsay’s goal. 

The visitors made it 3-1 and 4-2 but Luke Wanadio twice extended the lead to give the hosts a comfortable win in front of an attendance of 2,919 at Champion Hill. 

Hakan Hayrettin praised his side for a comprehensive first-half performance, but was disappointed not to get a clean sheet. 

“What was important was we had them watched, we knew how they played. We stopped them from playing because they’re an exceptional team,” Hayrettin said on Dulwich Hamlet TV. “They like to rotate and come out with the ball from the back and through the thirds. We stopped that and they went a bit longer.

“Our game plan worked in the first half. We deserved to be in front, we scored some excellent goals, hit the crossbar as well. It was a good performance in the first half, in front of an amazing crowd, as usual, at Champion Hill. 

“Of course I’m unhappy we conceded two sloppy goals but we’ll just have to keep working on that until we get it right.” 

Dulwich have thirteen points from seven games. They travel to Bowers & Pitsea this Saturday for a 3pm kick-off.
