Margate boss Terry Brown says FA Trophy opponents Dulwich Hamlet present a tough challenge.

Margate boss Terry Brown knows old rivals Dulwich Hamlet present a real threat in Saturday's FA Trophy Third Qualifying Round trip to South London.

The two teams met in the Ryman League play-off semi-final at Hartsdown Park last season, Gate winning 2-1. Hamlet have already displayed their title credentials this season, having opened up a five-point lead over the rest of the Premier Division.

Brown has already seen them first hand this season, and said: "They are a good footballing side, top of the league, and (are) a team who score a lot of goals.

"They are a similar side to Whitehawk, and we left ourselves too open when we played them.

"We will have to go there and be fairly cautious in our approach, and try and work to keep a clean-sheet, anything's a bonus after that."

He added: "They have got two very quick wingers in Nyren Clunis and Rhys Murrell-Williamson as well as Danny Sweeney who has scored eight in the last 10 games and is a player I worked with at AFC Wimbledon.

"Then there's (former player) Ryan Moss who will be looking to inflict more pain on us."

David Hunt misses the game because of suspension while Luke Moore and Brett Johnson are both injury doubts with lower back problems.
