Bromley 1 Lewes 1 – BSS – 26/10/2010
Bromley’s poor run of form continued on Tuesday night at a windy Hayes Lane where they shared the points with bottom of the table Lewes and they were lucky to get a point given that they only registered one shot on target the whole game.
The match got off to a lively start with the ball zipping around on the wet surface and Bromley looking very positive, but they suffered a massive blow when Harrison Dunk was carried off after an awful foul by Taiwo who was only shown a yellow card. The Ravens took the lead their dominance deserved on 27mins when Ryan Dolby closed down Rooks Keeper Winterton and his scuffed clearance was lobbed back over his head by Tony Finn from 35yards. As the half went on the game became more physical and Bromley players fell victim to some late crunches. In injury time Finn nearly repeated his early feat, but this time his effort went just over.
The second half was low on quality, littered with fouls and offsides, with both sides punting the ball long and creating little. Lewes sub Lima had a goal ruled out for offside before the visitors grabbed an equaliser on 73mins when Wes Foderingham spilled a high ball under pressure and it was eventually scrambled home from close range. Late on Lima missed a good chance for Lewes, while Harry Harding shot wide for Bromley, but it finished all square, The Rooks giving their departing manager Steve Ibbotson a battling send off.

Bromley 1 Ebbsfleet United 1 – BSS – 02/10/2010v
ccc
Bromley maintained their unbeaten start to the season with a hard fought draw at home to Ebbsfleet who will consider themselves unlucky not to have left Hayes Lane with all three points after dominating most of the game.
Fleet started brightly pushing forward, but it was Bromley who took the lead with their first attack on 7 minutes. A pin point free kick from Tony Finn was powerfully headed home by Paul Vines from close range. The visitors carried on asking the questions and former Bromley striker Gareth Williams fired narrowly wide, before they levelled the scores on 16 minutes. Bromley Keeper Wes Foderingham failed to get decent contact when attempting to punch a corner clear and inadvertently directed it straight into the path of Michael West who coolly chipped the ball back over him into the net for 1-1. Bromley finally broke out of defensive mode and started to create chances mainly thanks to the tireless work rate of Paul Vines & Tony Finn. Finn went close on two occasions, while at the other end Michael West also missed two good chances. Late in the half Bromley’s top scorer Warren McBean had two great opportunities to put the home side in front, but he missed his first one on one when trying to curl the ball with the outside of his foot and saw his second chance denied by the out stretched hand of Preston Edwards in the Fleet goal. Late in the half a highly motivated Gareth Williams was denied by Raves stopper Foderingham and Wes Daly forced a save from Edwards with a well struck free kick.
The second half was all about Ebbsfleet and Bromley dropped deeper and deeper under pressure with very little respite from the away side’s attacks. Williams and Callum Willock forced saves from Foderingham, West fired wide twice and Williams hit the side netting while Bromley’s only chance fell to Salifou Ibrahima who was denied by Edwards. The Ravens failed to create anything in midfield as the strikers became increasingly isolated. Late in the half Fleet had two more great chances to win the game, but West and Willock both shot wide when well placed and The Ravens held out for a point prolonging the unbeaten.

Bromley 2 Bishops Stortford 1 –
FA Cup 2nd Qual Rd. Replay – 28/09/2010
Bromley progressed through to the next round of the FA Cup thanks to a stunning late strike from sub Tony Finn which finished off a fantastic entertaining end to end cup tie.
Mark Goldberg rang the changes ahead of this replay and The Ravens started well with Warren McBean missing two good chances. Both sides created good opportunities and Wes Foderingham made a remarkable save from a Paulo Vernazza header at the other end. Stortford eventually took the lead on 30mins when Reece Prestedge tried his luck from distance and the ball skidded past Foderingham to put the visitors 1-0up. Both sides continued to press forward with Paul Vines having an effort saved by Bert Greenwood and Josh Llewellyn brining out another fine save from Foderingham. Late in the half Bromley drew level when a low cross from Nicky Greene was turned in at the near post by David Graves to make it 1-1 at the break.
Stortford had the best of the second half and missed several chances to take the lead again with Sanchez Ming and Llewellyn both going close on two occasions. McBean turned a Finn cross wide, but again it was the away side who created the best chances with Chris Arthur hitting the underside of the bar and Ming firing wide. Late on Bromley rallied and after Vines had gone close with a glancing header Finn won the tie when he cut in from the right and unleashed a curling dipping powerful effort into the roof of the net from 20yards.
Bromley now go on to play at Chelmsford, while Stortford can count themselves unlucky in three consecutive games against The Ravens.
