silly me, you are right the drew and should have won.
Still game today, county u18s at lyons farm
The old ground which now is a Sainsburys held a record of over 20 thousand in 1932 .Dulwich Hamlet 2 - Hampton & Richmond 2
Att: 2,856 (Champion Hill record attendance)
A lackluster first half saw neither goalkeeper called into action and aside from the Hampton cross bar taking a glancing blow with a towering header from a corner neither side threatened.
The second half started in much the same fashion as it would appear that the two teams were over awed by the half time appearance of the Southwark mayor to mark the occasion.
Dulwich took the lead somewhat against the run of play as the captain Ashley Carew pounced on a loose ball in the Hampton box to bobble the ball home.
A refereeing travesty brought Hampton deservedly back into the game as the number 9 flounced to the floor after a powderpuff challenge from the unfortunate Dulwich number 4, who was booked for the second time. The penalty was dispatched with aplomb down the centre of the goal.
The reduction to ten men, as is so often the case, seemed to glavanise the home side who in front of the baying record crowd went searching for the winner. A jinking run down the right was cut inside to Carew lurking with intent on the edge of the box and he curled the ball home into the top corner to send the masses delirious and looked to have maintained the home sides 100% home record.
It was only some sloppy defending in the six yard box that allowed the 17yr old Hampton substitute to level things up in the dying seconds. The crowd left frustrated but otherwise entertained.
