MATCH REPORTS 2006-07
 

Northwood fielded a side that tended towards the younger elements, but with the addition of Peter Dean up front, the elder statesman of the team at 21.

And it was Dean that gave the Woods an early lead, racing on to a through ball and skilfully lobbing the goalkeeper on 12 minutes.

Unfortunately, that lead lasted just a couple of minutes until left-winger Eniola Oluwa danced through the Northwood defence, and finished clinically to level.

Dulwich continued to press and Oluwa bagged a second goal after 26 minutes when his cross cum shot from the left eluded everyone, including Bill Fishenden in the Northwood goal, and curled inside the far post.

Daniel Jones went close for the visitors with a header from a free-kick which Fishenden saved well, but just before the break Hamlet broke through again and Phil Williams added the easiest of touches.

Hopes of a stirring comeback were raised when impressive 16-year-old Tyrone Frederick tapped home from a few yards to reduce the arrears after a corner hadn't been cleared by the Dulwich defence.

But when the visitors fired home a fourth goal soon after, through substitute Theo Fairweather-Johnson, it was pretty much game over.

Northwood did raise their game and make a fight of it, with Dean going close twice, Fitzpatrick having a shot blocked from close-range, and then claims for a clear handball were waved away by an unsighted referee.

Fairweather-Johnson added his second and Dulwich's fifth with nine minutes to go and it was the visitors who deservedly took their place in the final against Staines Town next week.
