Dulwich Hamlet's Ryman Division One South promotion hopes could be dealt a double blow this week with the departure of two star players.

The Champion Hill side have enjoyed an encouraging start to the season and are fourth in the table ahead of Saturday's trip to Maidstone United.

But defender Justyn Roberts and in-form goalscorer Sol Pinnock could leave the club if trials at Stevenage Borough and Crewe Alexandra, respectively, bear fruit.

Pinnock travels north to the Railwaymen this week with the blessing of boss Wayne Burnett after scoring in his past two appearances.

Ex-Nottingham Forest centre back Roberts is waiting to hear from Borough boss Mark Stimson after spending last week at the Nationwide Conference side.

He played a major role in securing a clean sheet against Whyteleafe in his only appearance for Dulwich since signing for them earlier this month.

Pinnock spent a trial period at Championship strugglers Colchester United earlier in the season and hopes it is second time lucky for a shot at the professional ranks.

"Solomon will be there for a week and everyone wishes him all the best," said Burnett.

"Hopefully something will materialise for him, but he would be welcomed back if it doesn't work out.

"Teams are beginning to sit up and take notice of us. They know what we are about now.

"We are scoring plenty of goals but we are also conceding a few.

"If we can get Justyn back for a couple of games, or even long term, we stand a chance.

"Twenty points from 10 games is a pleasing start, but there are 30 more games to go and we will be judged in May as to how good we are."

Dulwich enjoyed a rest on Saturday and travel to eighth-placed Maidstone in goalscoring form having netted 13 times on three games.
