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.
