Whyteleafe P Dulwich Hamlet P
Ryman Isthmian League
Saturday 26th March 2005

The Hamlet were left kicking their heels at the weekend when their scheduled League match at Whyteleafe’s Church Road ground fell victim to the weather, as a fresh dump of snow in the area put paid to any hopes 'Leafe had of getting the game going ahead, despite an army of willing volunteers, armed with forks and seduced by promises of free beer, standing at the ready in an attempt to make the pitch playable. The match has now been provisionally rescheduled for Tuesday 15th March, kick-off 7:45 p.m. The early morning postponement must have come as a particular disappointment to Dulwich’s latest recruit, striker Paul Scott, who signed from the Hamlet’s Surrey rivals earlier in the week and would have been looking forward to facing his old team-mates. Possessing the skills to excite the crowds and the ability to score spectacular match-turning goals, the much-travelled goalscorer has played in two previous spells for Dulwich, the most recent at the start of the 2002/2003 season after signing from Maidenhead United, but returned to Whyteleafe in September of that year. After flirting with AFC Wimbledon, he switched to Croydon Athletic at the start of the current season before returning to Whyteleafe in November of last year.
