Elliot Romain scored a 73rd minute penalty after being brought down himself to secure a point away in SE22.

Darts, who started the game strongly, had chances through Gordon, McQueen and Wanadio early on but could not break down a stern Hamlet defence.

Wanadio had the best of the chances in the first half for Dartford, hitting a strike straight at ex Ebbsfleet United keeper Preston Edwards, after being slid in by new signing Hyde, who had been announced on a one month loan deal from league one side Colchester United earlier on in the day.

Dulwich had their best chances of the first half through ex football league winger Lionel Ainsworth, who had a 25 yard shot saved and spilled but was luckily grabbed by Darts keeper Mark Smith. Minutes later the same man again ran through and again was denied one on one by the Darts number one.

Just after half-time Dulwich were ahead. A low free-kick deflected off the Darts wall, wrong footing Smith and into the net.

However, the Darts responded in the correct way and had golden chances through McQueen and Crook, hitting both posts in the same move.

At this point Darts were knocking on the Dulwich door and got their breakthrough on 75 minutes. A driving run from Romain saw the Darts man reach the box, only to be bundled over and for a penalty to be given. The ex Maidstone man stepped up and dispatched his spot-kick with coolness into the top corner.

Both sides huffed and puffed for a winner but neither could break through and the points were shared at Champion Hill.
