An Ahkeem Rose double strike was enough to see the Terras tally up their second National League South victory in 5 days at the Bob Lucas Stadium on Saturday when they overcame the challenge of visitors Dulwich Hamlet.
His goals came 1 either side of the break with the visitors only managing to score once in reply.
Our man at the game said: Make no doubt about it, Dulwich came here to win and they were probably the better team in the first half and to be fair were a bit unlucky to go in at half time a goal down, but after the break the Terras matched their guests in possession and when Ahkeem’s second goal struck the back of the net and despite defending deeper and deeper with manager Bobby Wilkinson imploring them from the touchline to the move further up the park, they had enough left in the tank to hold their lead until the final whistle”.

It was even Steven until the 67th minute when Doyle drove the ball into the back of the Hamble net from 25 yards out.
