07/02/2004 - WFCSA FC 2 - Dulwich Hamlet Supporters 3
WFCSAFC played their first ever game at a cold, windy West Park and battled bravely but were beaten by a stronger Dulwich Hamlet side.
With the support of the 8 fans who braved the morning cold WFCSAFC started well but struggled to cut through a well organised, tight Dulwich backline with Dulwich's fast, lone striker causing WFCSAFC's back three problems all game.
It took some genius to open the scoring and on 20 minutes a beautiful lob gave Paul Jones no chance. That's how things stood at half time despite much Worthing pressure but few shots on Hamlet's goal.
The second half saw many substitutions by Worthing and this lost their momentyum slightly as the visitos extended their lead on 63 minutes after Hamlet's quick, young striker netted. Minutes later Worthing clawed a goal back. Dan Earle's 25 yard free kick finding a way through the Hamlet Keeper's legs to reduce the defecit.
With Worthing giving it their all to level things Hamlet caught Worthing on the break and it was their pacy striker causing Green and Dowd all sorts of problems as he twisted, turned and netted a marvellous solo effort.
The Rebels never gave up and after presuure from corners a consolation came, Saunders' corner met by Earle whose effort was turned in by Morath on his own line.
Worthing had no time to force another attack and can go away happy after a good, solid performance showing lots of promise for the future.

Team: Jonesy, Greeny, Martin Lad, Dave, Nick, Steve Storey, Dan Earle, Matt Saunders, Lander, Dawson, Darren.
