Bromley 4 v 0 Slough Town

Ryman League Premier Division

Report by Patrick Harris

DESPITE not playing well Bromley overcame Slough comfortably at a blustery Hayes Lane, writes Patrick Harris.

After a slow start, with Slough's solid defence containing Bromley and having some spells of possession, the Lillywhites broke free of the shackles.

Nic McDonnell almost opened the scoring when he took the ball around keeper Kieran Drake but rolled his effort across the goal and wide.

Bromley took the lead on 29 minutes when a corner from the left beat everyone apart from Tutu Henriques who bundled the ball over the line with his chest.

New signing Gareth Williams, brought in to understudy Tony Boot while he is in Germany for the World Cup for players with learning difficulties, looked lively and the former Palace striker set up the second goal on 42 minutes.

His shot from a quick Barry Moore free-kick was saved by Drake only for Henriques to pounce and notch his second of the afternoon.

The second half saw Bromley start on the front foot and McDonnell set up Kirk Watts with some nice footwork on the by-line but the wing wizard blazed over.

Williams shot over from a free-kick after a foul on Watts and he then set up McDonnell who headed straight at Drake.

Bromley put the game beyond doubt on the hour mark when Williams curled a sublime effort in from 20 yards past a dumbstruck Rebels defence.

The game slowed down for a while with neither side making any chances and Bromley made three substitutions bringing on Adrian Stone, Nathan Simpson and Lee Fieldwick.

McDonnell had another shot saved by Drake and Stone missed a great chance from the rebound taking too long to control the ball but he soon made up for it when he played a great ball into McDonnell who crashed the ball in for 4-0 on 87 minutes.

Watts set up McDonnell for one more chance just before the end but this time last season's top scorer was wide of the target.
