Hat-trick for Oz, the wizard of Dulwich

It was the eighth defeat in 11 home games for the Rebels, who went ahead after 21 minutes through Jamie Brotherton.

Oztumer responded with two goals in six minutes either side of the interval and Nyren Clunis converted a Kevin James pass to make it 3-1 on the hour. Oztumer completed his treble with seven minutes left.

Only four games were played in the division and they yielded three away wins and one draw. Visiting teams have had the upper hand in this division all season and they have now won 92 games, while home clubs have delighted their fans on only 77 occasions.

The most important of the other results came at Chipstead, where Leatherhead’s 2-0 win lifted them into fourth place. Chips had defender Josh Andrew sent off in the 20th minute and fell behind to a Kev Terry goal six minutes before the break. Mark Simmons made sure with 15 minutes left.

Horsham moved into the top half of the table with a 3-1 win at Tooting. After an exchange of penalties, with Tony Nwachukwu’s effort for Horsham answered by Laurent Hamici, Scott Tipper headed the visitors into the lead for the second time moments before the interval (pictured by John Lines). Tooting pressed for much of the second half before Charlie Farmer clinched it for Hornets in the last minute.

Ramsgate were the only home team to manage a point. Tom Parkinson scored his first goal since stepping up from the Kent League to give the hosts a 62nd-minute lead and Kai Bichard levelled it nine minutes later. The hosts had Gillingham loanee Ashley Miller sent off before the end.
