Dover Athletic, ten unbeaten and with a five point lead at the top, had the chance to possibly make that gap even larger as all of their closest rivals were playing each other. Athletic headed to South London to take on Dulwich Hamlet, and they had a tricky start, an own goal giving the hosts the lead on five minutes. Dover drew level in the last minute of the first half, Ruben Soares Junior scoring his fifteenth goal of the season, and on sixty seven minutes they completed the turnaround, George Nikaj giving them the lead and taking his tally to eighteen. Athletic then took charge, and within seven minutes had added a third, Alfie Matthews ensuring three points. There was still time for a fourth, too, Soares-Junior making it a depressing day for Dulwich fans.
Two thousand, one hundred and sixty braved the elements.
