A below par peformance saw Lewes lose 4-1 in their Bryco Cup quarter final tie at Dulwich Hamlet.

Dulwich deserved the half time lead given to them in the 45th minute by Gavin Rose who bundled in a loose ball at the near post.

Prior to this, Lewes goalkeeper Russell Tanner had made an excellent block tackle outside his area to deny Charley Side on 25 minutes while the only real chance for the Rooks during the first period came in the 15th minute when Gareth Green was denied.

Three minutes after the restart Lewes' Tony Reid saw his low well-struck shot blocked by Scott Ward but worse was to come for the visitors when Dulwich scored their second a minute later with Eben Allen firing a superb left foot effort past Tanner.

Ten minutes from time Dulwich effectively wrapped up the match with another marvellous strike, this time from Peter Adeniyi wide on the right.

Lewes pulled back a goal in the 83rd minute when Matt Allen rifled home after the ball rebounded into his path.

On the final whistle Francis Quarm scored Dulwich's fourth.
