Arthurian League 2-0 Lloyds of London

 

Dulwich Hamlet F. C., 19th November 2008, 7.30pm KO

 

This was a home fixture for the Arthurian League taking place at Dulwich Hamlet F. C., our new 'home' ground. Lloyds of London fielded a full strength side against the Arthurian Rep side which was unbeaten for several games.

Shortly after kick-off, the away side started to dominate possession but created very little in this period. The home side strung together several good moves and, not too long into the first half, established a 2-0 lead courtesy of Brad Osborn (Old Brentwoods) and a brilliant finish from Paul Molloy (Old Harrovians), sending the ball into the top corner of the net.

The second half saw pretty much more of the same, with Lloyds enjoying plenty of possession but all in the wrong areas. With a very strong back four, the home side never really looked like conceding, and held on for a 2 -0 win.
