Dulwich Hamlet:

Joe Gormley scored his first Posh goal as Dave Robertson's men claimed a 3-2 win at Dulwich Hamlet.
Peterborough United struck the woodwork four times and carved out numerous other clear cut opportunities against Dulwich Hamlet in the first pre-season friendly in preparation for the new Sky Bet League One campaign.

Hamlet goalkeeper Wilson was in inspired form, but he couldn't prevent Joe Gormley from netting his first Posh goal as Robertson's men twice came from behind against their hosts in an open encounter.

It was Jon Taylor who netted the winner, firing home late on after good work from Gormley down the right.

The deadlock was broken inside the opening six minutes as CLUNIS was afforded time and space inside the six-yard box to fire home past goalkeeper Henrich Ravas.

It didn't take Posh long to get level as on eight minutes, a well worked short corner was fired into the bottom corner from just inside the box by Harry ANDERSON. Posh had actually came close to levelling moments before as Oztumer raced onto a Payne pass, but after rounding the goalkeeper, his shot was cleared.

Anderson came close to giving Posh the lead on 10 minutes after another short corner caught out the hosts, his shot was fierce and on target but a retreating defender somehow manager to block the effort.

Jack Friend and Kane Ferdinand exchanged passes on the quarter hour mark, but the former's shot drifted wide of the upright.

Edwards then capitalised on a defensive mix-up at the back for the hosts, but he poked his volley wide of the far post. On 35 minutes, Payne fired wide from 30-yards after winning the ball in the centre circle.

Three minutes after the re-start, the hosts got themselves back in front as a free-kick from the right was nodded home from close-range by Matt DRAGE.

On 55 minutes, superb work from Anderson down the right saw him burst past the full-back and cut the ball back perfectly for Edwards, but he scuffed his shot well wide of the target.

Oztumer saw a fierce drive tipped over the bar and from the resulting corner, Anderson fired wide of the near post.

Dave Robertson changed nine players on the hour mark with only goalkeeper Ravas and a trialist surviving.

Within 60 seconds of those changes, Washington escaped the offside trap and squared for the onrushing Taylor, but he was superbly denied by Hamlet goalkeeper Wilson from point blank range.

GORMLEY didn't worry about that disappointment though, two minutes later he had the ball in the back of the net as Maddison's cross was converted by the former Cliftonville man.

Maddison saw a skidding right-foot shot fumbled by Wilson as Posh, buoyed by the changes, pushed forward. Jarrett fired over for the hosts at the other end after cutting inside onto his right foot.

A corner kick from Maddison was glanced towards goal by Gormley on 73 minutes, it then hit Taylor and struck the post before it was hacked to safety.

Gormley then struck the inside of the post with a rocket of an effort after a clever pass from Maddison as Posh hit the woodwork for the third time in the contest.

Gormley was then denied by the legs of the keeper after more excellent movement allowed him to ghost in behind the back line. Washington then saw a shot blocked before Maddison's cross just eluded Gormley in the box after a forceful run.

Maddison unleashed a stinging effort on 81 minutes that Wilson somehow diverted onto the top of the crossbar before Robinson fired over.

Posh got the third goal late on as Gormley rounded the keeper and chipped a delightful cross to the back post where Jon TAYLOR controlled beautifully and fired home past Wilson to secure a deserved friendly success.

West Ham:

Peterborough United held a strong West Ham United side to a 3-3 draw at the ABAX Stadium.

Dave Robertson's men played some excellent football throughout and came back from 3-1 down to earn a 3-3 draw with Slaven Bilic's men in front of just under 4,000 at the ABAX Stadium.

Ricardo Almeida Santos, Jon Taylor and Michael Bostwick were on target for Posh with Jack Collison introduced five minutes from time for his first appearance in a Posh shirt.

Mark Noble sent a speculative volley wide of the upright on three minutes as the Hammers made a bright start at a muggy ABAX Stadium.

Kgosi Ntlhe's strong tackle and forceful run down the left created the first half chance for Posh as Washington sent a cross-shot across the six-yard box.

On seven minutes, Posh opened the scoring and it was a first goal for Ricardo ALMEIDA SANTOS, who rose highest from a left-wing corner to power home a header past Adrian.

It was nearly 2-0 moments later as a mazy dribble from Jermaine Anderson and an intelligent pass to Gormley saw the summer signing in a decent shooting position, but his fierce drive was gathered at the second attempt by Adrian.

Ben Alnwick produced a superb reflex stop to keep Posh ahead as Sakho diverted a Pike effort goal-wards, but the Posh shot-stopper was powerless to stop Mark NOBLE who found the corner with an excellent effort from the edge of the box.

Moments later and the Hammers were ahead as an underhit back-pass put Alnwick in trouble, his clearance struck SAKHO and the ball looped into the empty net.

On 25 minutes, the Hammers extended their advantage as Martin SAMUELSON fired low into the bottom corner after patient approach play from the Premier League outfit.

Posh should have reduced the arrears on 35 minutes as Maddison and Gormley linked superbly to create a great opportunity for Taylor, but he fired over from 10-yards.

Posh did get themselves on the scoresheet on 40 minutes as a glorious defence-splitting pass from Bostwick found TAYLOR racing clear, he rounded Adrian and slotted the ball into the empty net.

Dave Robertson made one switch at half-time with Jon Taylor replaced by Harry Anderson. The Hammers replaced Winston Reid with Doniel Henry.

James Collins had the ball in the back of the net on 53 minutes after a Nolan flick-on, but the offside flag cut short the celebrations.

Posh levelled the scores at 3-3 just before the hour mark as Maddison was felled in the box and Michael BOSTWICK thumped home the spot-kick.

Nasha was denied by Alnwick on 77 minutes after letting fly from 35-yards as the Hammers pushed for a winning goal.

Mavilla saw a curler well held by Alnwick on 80 minutes. Da Silva Lopes wriggled into some space a minute later, but his powerful drive cleared the crossbar.

A mistake from Alnwick allowed former Posh striker Jaanai Gordon an open goal to aim at, but he side-footed into the side-netting. Alnwick then pushed away a free-kick from the impressive Cresswell.

Posh introduced Jack Collison for the final five minutes with Harry Anderson the man replaced.

Posh first hour: Alnwick, Smith, Ntlhe, J. Anderson, Zakuani, Almeida Santos, Bostwick, Gormley, Washington, Maddison, Taylor (sub H. Anderson 46min).

Posh last half hour: Alnwick, Ntlhe, Adebayo-Rowling, Trialist, Trialist, Brisley, Ferdinand, Da Silva Lopes, H. Anderson (sub Collison 85min), Payne.

Peterborough United made it 15 goals in four pre-season games after an entertaining 3-2 win over a youthful Tottenham side.

Dave Robertson's men are still unbeaten in pre-season after recording their third win out of four at the expense of the Tottenham Hotspur development squad at the ABAX Stadium.

Michael Bostwick registered the first shot of the game, but his powerful side-footed effort went wide of the near post.

Jack Collison was an influential figure in the midfield, his pass to Washington was cushioned into the path of Taylor, but he fired inches past the post.

Posh were playing some excellent stuff in tight areas and the home faithful were certainly enjoying themselves as the quarter hour mark passed.

Goalkeeper Ben Alnwick palmed over a free-kick from Cy Goddard on 16 minutes before Kenny McEvoy fired a left-foot shot wide.

Maddison fired over from 25-yards on 23 minutes as Posh counter-attacked at pace. The deadlock was broken on 27 minutes as Smith's low centre was coolly converted by Joe GORMLEY, who's low effort from 10-yards fizzed past Glover in the Spurs goal.

Collison was withdrawn after just over 35 minutes of action with Jermaine Anderson his replacement. Maddison tested Glover with a swerving shot from distance on 43 minutes, which the keeper did well to hold.

On the stroke of half-time, another flowing Posh move involving Bostwick, Ntlhe and Washington ended with a curling effort from Maddison that was well held by Glover.

Posh doubled their lead on 48 minutes and it was all the work of Conor WASHINGTON, he nicked the ball off the Spurs left-back, forced his way into the penalty box and then squeezed the ball under goalkeeper Glover with his left-foot.

Ben Alnwick did well to save with his legs after McAvoy got in behind Ntlhe down the right as Spurs tried to find an immediate response. On 59 minutes, the visitors reduced the arrears as substitute Shayon HARRISON was afforded too much time to rifle home past Alnwick.

Jermaine Anderson tested substitute Spurs goalkeeper Glover from range with the shot-stopper making a routine stop.

Dion-Curtis Henry made a decent save on 74 minutes to stop a well-flighted free-kick from Goddard as Spurs tried to find an equaliser.

That leveller came on 77 minutes as substitute AZZAOUI robbed Maslen-Jones on the touchline who was trying to let the ball go out of play and rolled the ball past the onrushing Henry.

Trialist C sent a fierce shot over the bar from the edge of the area moments later. Trialist C showed neat control and an explosive effort on 84 minutes, keeper Sheldrick pushing it around the post.

Posh got themselves in front on 85 minutes as Kyle VASSELL fired a low shot in off the inside of the post.

Posh first hour: Alnwick, Smith, Ntlhe, Zakuani, Santos, Collison (sub J. Anderson 36min), Bostwick, Taylor, Maddison, Washington, Gormley.
