Just got back from Champion Hill. Blimey, that was an odd night. What you don't see on TV is that the BBC had to hire huge temporary floodlights, which were behind the camera gantry, so you've got a tiny ground suddenly lit up like The Valley on one side. Plus the whole telly palaver going on (go to the clubhouse for a drink and suddenly you can see Dan Walker out on the pitch rehearsing his spiel; the camera on a zip-wire on one side of the ground...) But loads of people have given blood, sweat and tears over the years for that club, and that was their day in the sun (might as well have been under those lights).
In the end, Dulwich were typically Dulwich in dominating the first half but doing very little with it, and Carlisle did a professional job. Bah. A night to remember, though.

The former are the Level below Welling - The latter are playing youth players and loanees after the first team went on strike
Wont be surprised in the slightest if Macclesfield are one of the next teams to go the way of Bolton / Bury
Gonna say not much of a shock this one as Kingstonian were favourites with Macclesfield players on strike
Nah Macclesfield are only playing because if they dont they risk being ejected from next years competition too due to not having a good enough excuse to miss this year

Worst possible start for Dulwich
A Carlisle player just took a throw in to himself by throwing the ball against the back of a Dulwich player
Almost worked too
But what a strike!!
Dont know where in Dulwich it is
Maybe another sign for tomorrow seeing he's ex-Millwall
Probably a good option alongside Bonne or Taylor or even behind the two of them

For the most part the games yesterday went in favour of the higher placed team
