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!
