Bromley 2 Welling Utd 1 – BSS – 28/08/2010
Bromley continued their 100% run with a narrow win over local rivals Welling at Hayes Lane on Saturday secured in injury time thanks to a fantastic save from Wes Foderingham.
The game started very open with both sides having spells of possession and creating half chances, Salifou Ibrahima went closest for Bromley just firing over while Jordon Johnson had two efforts saved by Foderingham. Welling had the best of the play late on, but Paul Vines had the best chance saved by Charlie Mitten in The Wings goal.
The second d half saw Bromley improve and they went in front on 64mins when a long ball down the middle found Warren McBean who brought it under control and then smashed it past Mitten for 1-0. Wes Daly & Vines both went close again before The Ravens made it 2-0 on 71mins when Ryan Dolby raced down the left and set up McBean for a cool finish under Mitten for 2-0. Welling rallied late on and they pulled it back to 2-1 on 90mins when Ben Billings headed home a far post cross. They could have equalised in injury time, but Femi Omogbehin’s header was brilliantly saved by Foderingham who then punched away the resulting corner. In the dying moments McBean should have wrapped it up but he rolled the ball too in front of him far when one on one with Dolby free to his left.
The margin of victory was narrow, but you need a little luck when you are top of the league and Bromley had it today!

Bromley 1 Havant & Waterlooville 0– BSS – 24/08/2010
Bromley’s fantastic start to the season continued with a hard fought single goal victory over a very rugged and strong Havant at Hayes Lane on Tuesday night.
Bromley got off to a strong start with Warren McBean setting up Paul Vines who shot just wide, the striking duo combined well all evening and Vines went close twice more and they troubled The Hawks defence with their pace. Havant had their best spell late in the half Wes Fogden went close twice and Ian Simpemba was denied by the impressive Wes Foderingham in the home goal.
The second half saw Havant start well with Sammy Igoe hitting the bar from distance, but Bromley battled back and created a number of good chances with John Scarborough heading wide and Vines forcing two saves from Aaron Howe. Then on the hour came the breakthrough when Vines charged down the right and delivered the perfect cross for McBean to power his header home for 1-0. McBean shot narrowly wide soon after before the visitors had a spell on top, but the solid Bromley defence held out under pressure and secured the three points to keep the impressive form going.

Hampton & Richmond Borough 1 Bromley 2 – BSS – 21/08/2010
Hampton & Richmond Borough 1 Bromley 2 – BSS – 21/08/2010 by Colin Head
Bromley kept up their 100% record for the new season thanks to an injury time winner from Jerome Sobers just edging out Hampton in a hard fought and at times dour battle.
The game got off to an even start at a very quick pace, but the home side began to dominate as things went on and Wes Foderingham had to make a great save from Dave Tarpy who also missed a good chance when firing over soon after. It was only in the last five minutes of the half that Bromley go going and they should have been awarded a penalty for a double foul on Harrison Dunk who was bizarrely booked for diving after nearly being cut in half. Then on 43misn came the breakthrough for The Ravens when another great Tony Finn free kick found Paul Vines who headed home from close range to make it 1-0 to Bromley at the break.
The second half saw Bromley start well with Dunk & Wes Daly going close, before Hampton equalised on 55mins, with a rare break up field the ball came to Tarpy who turned and finished well from the edge of the box for 1-1. The Beavers then had two good chances to take the lead when Tarpy fired over and Dean Wells headed against the bar, before they were awarded a penalty on 70mins after Sobers had been judged to have handled the ball. Tarpy stepped up but his spot kick was pushed over the bar by Foderingham who then saved brilliantly from the same player at the following corner. The game opened up in the last fifteen minutes with both sides going for the win and Bromley had another shout for a penalty when Finn was floored in the box waved away by Mr Lugg. Then in injury time The Ravens pushed on one last time and the ball fell to Vines whose goal bound effort was parried by Matthew Lovett only for Sobers to follow the loose ball in and head it dramatically over the line to win the game 2-1 at the death.

Boreham Wood 2 Bromley 4 – BSS – 17/08/2010
Boreham Wood 2 Bromley 4 – BSS – 17/08/2010
Former Bromley Keeper Gareth Williams had a first half to forget for his new side as The Ravens recorded their second win of the season thanks to four early goals against newly promoted Boreham Wood.
Wood started the game on top with Jamie Butler making a great save from Elliot Godfrey and Luke Garrard blazing over, but Bromley held out and started to hit the home side on the break. Ryan Dolby forced a save from Williams before The Ravens went in front on 17misn when a high ball into they box was spilled by the former Bromley Keeper and Jerome Sobers headed home from close range. Godfrey missed a great opportunity for Boreham Wood before Bromley made it 2-0 on 23mins when Nic McDonnell latched on to a Wes Daly though ball and coolly clipped the ball past Williams. Wood pulled a goal back on 29mins when Mario Noto curled in a deft free kick to make it 2-1, but The Ravens were unfazed and it was 3-1 on 33mins when a Tony Finn free kick left Williams flat footed and skipped in off the grass into the far corner of the net. Bromley’s fourth came on 40mins when Dolby curled in a free kick from the right which once again left Williams red faced as it sped past him into the goal. Wes Daly went close before The ravens were given a chance to make it five after Paul Vines was pulled down by Bradley Fraser. Unfortunately McDonnell’s tame spot kick was palmed away by Williams and it stayed 4-1 at the break.
The second half took place in torrential rain and the pitch was so waterlogged by the end the game was in doubt, but Referee Mr Neill chose to play on much to the relief of the away fans who easily made up half of the pathetic 198 crowd. Wood switched to 4-4-2 and looked much more solid and created chances, John Scarborough cleared one chance off the line and Noto shot wide before the home side made it 2-4 on 53mins when sub Greg Morgan finished off a quick move. Bromley battled though and when the resolute defence was broken Butler saved well from Sherwin Stanley & Noto. Stuart Blackmore & Morgan fired over before Boreham Wood’s fight back was all but finished when Noto was sent off for a second yellow following a ridiculous two footed lunge late in the second half. Bromley held out and deserved the three points for a solid attacking and defensive display in either half.

Bromley 2 Dorchester 1 – BSS – 14/08/2010
Bromley 2 Dorchester 1 – BSS – 14/08/2010
Bromley got off to a winning if unspectacular start to the new season edging out Dorchester despite being reduced to ten men for the last five minutes and with both sides missing penalties.
The Ravens started poorly, looking very flat and they were behind on 6mins when a sweetly struck Ryan Hill free kick curled in at the far post. Dorchester should have been two up shortly after but Matt Groves hit the post and then blazed the rebound over. With Bromley looking drained of confidence and lacking direction they got a vital piece of good fortune that pulled them back into the game on 34mins when a wayward Wes Daly shot deflected off Paul Vines and bounced into the net past the wrong footed Magpies Keeper Regan Coward. Then five minutes later Bromley were gifted the opportunity to take the lead when Coward flattened Nic McDonnell with both feet when faced with a one on one. The Keeper was lucky to escape with a yellow card and his good fortune continued when McDonnell ballooned the spot kick over the bar. The Ravens had two more good chances late in the half when Tony Finn set up Daly who forced a save from Coward and then Finn shot narrowly wide himself soon after.
Dorchester started the second half on top, but failed to create any real chances and just sent in a series of high balls that Jamie Butler chose to punch away. Bromley slowly improved with Vines heading wide from a Finn free kick, and it was Finn’s set piece skills that eventually won the game for The Ravens when he sent in a pin point cross for sub Warren McBean to head home from six yards on 72mins. Both sides continued to press with Hill forcing an amazing save from Butler with another great free kick and Finn was just off target at the other end. Then with five minutes to go Jerome Sobers conceded a penalty with a rash tackle in the box and was ordered off by Referee Hicks. Hill stepped up to take the kick and his effort was superbly parried away by Butler diving to his right. The Magpies continued to press for a point, but once again Butler was there to block Stuart Douglas’ effort in injury time to preserve the points for Bromley.
