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.
