Bishop’s Stortford 2 Bromley 2 –
FA Cup 2nd Qualifying Round – 25/09/2010
Bromley secured a replay on Tuesday night at Hayes Lane after coming back from 2-0 down following a desperate first half performance and a much improved showing in the second period.
The home side started well and went close through the impressive Sanchez Ming early on, Reece Presetedge and Ming again were denied before Stortford eventually took the lead on 24mins when a quick move down the right was finished off by Aiden Palmer from close range. Bromley failed to create any chances and with no outlet up front dropped deeper and inviting more pressure on. Stortford doubled their lead on 41mins when Duane Jackman latched on to a through ball and coolly finished to make it 2-0 at the break and Bromley looked beaten.
The second half saw Bromley come out looking far more motivated and willing to attack. They pulled one back on 56mins when Nicky Greene was brought down on the edge of the box and Referee Mr Coggins awarded The Ravens a dubious penalty. Warren McBean tucked away the spot kick and from that point Bromley began to push forward with more belief, especially once Paul Vines was introduced up front. Sub Sam Butler went close soon after coming on and went one better on 74mins when he latched on to a Wes Daly ball and rolled it past Nicky Eyre and in off the post for 2-2. Bromley continued to press looking for the winner as did Stortford, but neither side could convert their chances and they will have to do it all again on Tuesday.

Bromley: Foderingham, Graves, Dolby, Sobers, Scarborough, Greene, Daly, Henriques, Finn, McBean, McDonnell. Subs: Vines, Butler, Ibrahima, Agu, Boyle, Jordan.

Dartford 2 Bromley 2 – BSS – 18/09/2010
Dartford 2 Bromley 2 – BSS – 18/09/2010
Bromley maintained their unbeaten start to the season with a battling draw away to local rivals Dartford in front of a large crowd and despite being reduced to ten men with 15 minutes to go.
Dartford started the game on top and put The Ravens defence under a lot of early pressure with Hayes, Burns & Bradbrook all going close. Bromley took nearly half an hour to get going with only a long range effort from Ryan Dolby before they took an unlikely lead thanks to a deflected and a piece of poaching from striker Nic McDonnell. Tony Finn had saw his shot loop up off a Darts defender and McDonnell was on hand to nod it over the line for 1-0 on 35mins. Bromley then had a good spell going into the break, but they scored remained the same.
The second half saw Dartford take the attacking initiative again, Sherringham forcing a good save from Wes Foderginham. Bromley’s only outlet ball from the pressure was Tony Finn who did well to hold the ball up and also draw a number of fouls from the home midfield. Wes Daly had The Ravens best effort saved by Young before The Darts pressure paid off on 73mins when Jerome Sobers was judged to have fouled Bradbrook in the box and Referee Huxtable not only awarded Dartford a penalty but sent Sobers off. Hayes powered home the spot kick despite Foderingham getting a hand to it and it was all square. Both sides went for the win with Bromley looking to counter attack down either wing and they went in front again on 87mins when Harrison Dunk burst down the left cut and drove the ball past Young for 2-1. The joy of the away support was short lived though as The Darts equalised again a minute later when a deep cross from the right was headed home at the far post by Bradbrook for 2-2. In injury time Bromley suffered a massive blow when Harrison Dunk was carried off with a serious ankle injury following a late challenge from Bonner down by the corner flag which went unpunished.
A point earned for Mark Goldberg’s men under great pressure, but injuries and suspensions will now take their toll on his small squad.

Bromley 1 St Albans City 1 – BSS – 11/09/2010
Bromley 1 St Albans City 1 – BSS – 11/09/2010 – Colin Head
Bromley’s winning run came to an end at Hayes Lane on Saturday against a resilient and well organised St Albans who were well worth their point and could have had all three but for a controversial disallowed first half goal.
Bromley started brightly, but they were soon pinned back by the direct and powerful style of The Saints. Jean-Michel Sigere shot just wide and on 9mins Peter Smith had a goal ruled out by the Linesman despite running through the defence on a solo run. Inih Effiong headed over soon after and Sigere went close again before the game became scrappy and disjointed for a long period. Then out of the blue Bromley went in front in first half injury time when Tony Finn latched on to a Warren McBean pass and finished sweetly after going round the last defender and the wrong footed Keeper.
The second half saw St Albans draw level within 5minutes when Mark Peters headed home a corner from the left. Both sides traded chances with Sigere and Finn going closest before Bromley finally had a spell on top. Nic McDonnell had two efforts blocked following a corner, Finn forced a save from Paul Bastock who also denied Jerome Sobers soon after. Late on Tutu Henriques headed a superb Finn dead ball just wide and McDonnell had a goal ruled out for offside, but The Ravens couldn’t find a winner. In injury time Saints sub Adam Martin was sent off for persistent dissent only minutes after coming on.

Bishops Stortford 0 Bromley 1 - BSS - 31/08/2010
Bromley maintained their 100% record and their place at the top of the league thanks to a dubious 76th minute penalty in a tough battle against a hard working Stortford side.
The home side had the majority of the possession in the first half just edging the midfield battle, but they failed to create any real chances and on their only breakthrough was thwarted by Wes Foderingham who saved at the feet of Jason Mason. Bromley didn't really create any openings despite the tirelss running of Paul Vines, but held the scores at zero going into the break.
The second half started with the home side once again looking to have more of the ball and winning the midfield, Foderingham did well to deny Duane Jackman and Mason again. With the game drifting into a dour 0-0, Bromley were handed a lucky break when sub Nic McDonnell ran the ball past Stortford Keeper Nicky Morgan and went to ground with minimal contact. Referee Mr Rees pointed to the spot and Harrison Dunk smashed the penalty home to put The Ravens into an unlikley lead. McDonnell went close soon after with a header, but even for the closing spell Bromley were put under pressure and did well to hold on to their slender lead and keep the run going which breaks the league record for a winning start to the campaign.
