The follow-up header hit the post and Dalhouse netted the rebound but was ruled offside.
City gradually worked their way into the contest and the much-improved Joe Manners had two opportunities in quick succession while Jimmy Wild also caused problems for Chatham keeper Ryan Nicholls.
Seven minutes after the break, the Ryman premier side took the lead when Charlie Ofusu-Hene’s 20-yard ground shot deceived Holden.
