Hills United FC produced a devastating attacking performance on 30 May 2026, crushing Dulwich Hill SC 6-0 in an Australian Welsh League fixture at Arlington Oval. The visitors were ruthless from start to finish, exposing a fragile Dulwich Hill defence that had no answer to the pace, power, and precision of Hills United’s forward line.
Match Overview
Right from the kick-off, Hills United asserted total control. Within ten minutes they were two goals ahead, and the match quickly became a one-sided affair. Dulwich Hill, sitting mid-table before this game, were simply outclassed by a Hills United side that appears to be hitting top form at the perfect moment.

Tactical Breakdown
Hills United used a fluid 4-3-3 formation that allowed their front three to interchange positions, causing constant confusion for Dulwich Hill’s backline. Their midfield trio of Sam Lee, Josh Finch, and Tom Garner controlled possession with ease, completing over 85% of their passes. Dulwich Hill, meanwhile, seemed to lack organisation – their pressing was disjointed, and space behind the full-backs was exploited repeatedly.
Standout Performers
- Matt Reed (Hills United) – The striker’s hat-trick and constant movement earned him the man-of-the-match award.
- Alex Breen (Hills United) – Two goals and an assist, terrorising the left flank all afternoon.
