Gary McCann was, obviously, delighted with the result at Dulwich Hamlet. He said, "Defensively from front to back, it was a display of the highest order. Our goalkeeper was magnificent and I think he is among the best in the League.
"I would have been delighted with a point, so I am ecstatic to get all three points. Our goal came from the best passage of play from the game: Ball's sublime pass, Joshâs shimmy and jink and then his shot.
"We needed to make the change at half-time because I wasn't happy with the way that we were keeping the ball. I didn't think that James could play the full 90, but I was delighted with the 45 minutes he gave me.
"I told the players at half-time, we had to stick to our game plan because the longer the game went on there was always the chance that we could nick it. We had two players on the bench who could turn a game in Walker and Ash Nathaniel-George, and Josh showed that."

Josh Walker, who joined earlier today, became an instant hero as he scored the only goal at Dulwich Hamlet this evening with virtually the last kick of the game.
However, he wasn't the only hero as there were thirteen others as the squad put in an outstanding team performance to frustrate the home side who were unable to find a way past the Hendon backline, and particularly Tom Lovelock. The Greens keeper put in a superb performance, making a string of saves throughout the game.
The winner came in the fourth minute of stoppage time when the ball was cleared forward. Walker picked up possession and found enough space to curl the ball beyond the despairing dive of Preston Edwards to move the Greens up to second in the table.

Gary McCann added former Fulham forward Josh Walker to the squad ahead of tonight's game at Dulwich Hamlet. Josh, who is 19 years old, was released by Fulham in the summer, and had a spell on loan at Wealdstone last season

We are delighted to announce that Tom Lovelock has won the Safe Hands of the Month award sponsored by Sells GK Products for August. Tom conceded just three goals in the league during the month, and he is joined by fellow winners Zaki Oualah (Leatherhead) and Lenny Pidgeley (Margate).
This shows how important our defensive strength has been to our positive start to the league campaign, and our congratulations go to Tom on winning the award.

(The draws include games that have gone to penalties).

The first team picked up their first away win of the season this afternoon thanks to a Keagan Cole goal deep in stoppage time.
Earlier, the Greens had taken an 8th minute lead through Zak Jospeh, the only goal of the first period. Jay Gasson equalised in the 66th minute, but it was the Greens young midfielder who scored the winner when he slammed home the rebound after Luke Williams had saved his penalty. The result moves the Greens into 4th place in the league ahead of Tuesday's trip to Dulwich Hamlet.

Gary McCann has announced that Reis Stanislaus has left the club, and is expected to sign for Harrow Borough.
The departure has come about after Gary and Reis agreed to disagree over where they felt his best postition was. Gary said that competition for places offensively was as high as its ever been during his time as manager, and it was felt that it was best for Reis to move on.
We would like to thank Reis for his efforts over the past nine months, during which time he scored 5 goals in 30 appearances.

The first team's interest in the FA Cup came to an early end tonight as they were beaten 4-2 after extra time at Wingate & Finchley.
The first half belonged to the home side, and just like Saturday, they took the lead courtesy of a Spencer McCall free-kick following a foul just outside the area. Rob Laney then made it 2-0 shortly before half-time.
The Greens showed determination to get back into the game in the second period and were rewarded in the 51st minute when Niko Muir scored. They continued to put pressure on the home side, and the equaliser came courtesy of Muir in the 87th minute to take the game into extra time.
Ahmet Rifat restored the home side's advantage five minutes into the first period of extra time, and whilst the Greens tried to find a way back into the game, the defeat was confirmed on the stroke of full time when McCall scored his second of the evening.
