Bromley made their way through to the next round of the FA Trophy with a professional display away at Ryman Division One strugglers Ashford Town, writes Colin Head.

Any fears of a hang over from their FA Cup win at Mangotsfield United on Tuesday night were misplaced as The Ravens completed their task comfortably once they eventually broke through the home sides hard working defence.

The game started slowly, with both sides having spells of possession, Joe Vines came close when heading a Sam Wood corner just wide and at the other end Andy Walker saved well from Boorman’s long drive.

Allan McLeod had to go off injured and was replaced by Fraser Logan, soon after Boateng forced a good save out of Sean Glover, but from the corner Bromley went in front when Logan swept home from close range with his first touch on 28 minutes.

Just before half time Glover made a good save from Logan who had broken through the Ashford back line, but the keeper let himself down when the following corner came out to Adam Locke 25 yards out and the ex-Southend man drove the ball into the net under Glovers body.
