Road to Wembley - Jets fail

Oxhey Jets’ hopes of causing another FA Cup shock were emphatically ended by Dulwich Hamlet.

Having scored five in the previous two rounds, the ball was firmly on the other foot in Saturday’s first round qualifying tie as Hamlet ran out 5-1 victors at the Boundary Stadium. The Ryman League One side were firmly in control of the game by the half-hour mark after DARYL PLUMMER had scored on nine minutes and LAURENT HAMICI had added a 29th-minute penalty.

HAMICI added a third two minutes after the restart before JAMIE ARTHUR gave Jets a glimmer of hope by netting on 54 minutes. But any hopes of a turnaround were ended by PLUMMER's second on 70 minutes before HAMICI completeda fine hat-trick in the last minute.

Hamlet were frankly too good for our Jets, and passed the ball around well. So it is goodbye to the Jets a hello to the Hamlet, who play Hendon at home in the 2nd Qualifying Round on September 27th.
