Bromley came out on top against League 2 Gillingham in a very entertaining early pre-season game at Hayes Lane on Saturday under a fiercely hot sun thanks to goals from returning star Nic McDonnell & Jon Scarborough.
Gillingham started on top with Craig Holloway making saves from Luke Rooney & Barry Fuller and they also had a shout for a penalty when Jerome Sobers challenged Dennis Oli. The Gills had lots of possession and passed the ball round well, but couldn’t find a way through The Ravens defence despite Craig Palmer & Rooney both going close late on in the half in ended tied at zero.
The second half saw lots of changes on both sides and it was Bromley who had the better of things with McDonnell having a header saved by Darren Hawkes following a series of corners. The breakthrough for The Ravens came on the hour when McDonnell latched on to a long ball and finished coolly across the keeper into the corner of the net. Mark Bentley went close for The Gills before Bromley made it 2-0 5mins later when a Tony Finn free kick was blasted home
by Jon Scarborough from six yards out. Gillingham eventually pulled one back through Fola Onibuje who firmly headed home a cross, but they couldn’t find an equaliser, Scarborough cleared one attack away with a fine last ditch tackle and then their best opportunity fell to Serge Makofo who was denied by reserve keeper Paul Agu.Quote for the game, 'No news yet'.
