Whyteleafe P Dulwich Hamlet P
Ryman League – First Division
Saturday 15th December 2001

Dulwich were left kicking their heels last Saturday when their scheduled match was called off two and a half hours before kick-off. Despite the attempts of Whyteleafe to get the game played, a heavy overnight frost had left the ground rock hard and after a 12-30 inspection the referee decided that the conditions were too dangerous for the match to go ahead. What was more infuriating was that by the advertised kick-off time, the pitch had thawed out sufficiently for the match to almost certainly take place as testified to by a number of supporters of both sides who had made the trip to Church Road only to find they had made a futile journey. At the time of writing it is hoped that the match can take place next Saturday 22nd December as neither side has a game scheduled for that date, although this has yet to be ratified by the Isthmian League.
