Nugent strike sends holders out

Bromley 0-1 Dulwich Hamlet
London Senior Cup Quarter-Final
Tuesday 3 February 2004

Holders Bromley surrendered their grasp on the London Senior Cup in a disappointing display against old rivals Dulwich Hamlet at Hayes Lane tonight, writes Stephen McCartney.

Dulwich entertain Ford United in the last four of the competition, the side Bromley beat 1-0 in last season's Final at Victoria Road, Dagenham.

The winning strike came in the 24th minute when Justin Bowen played the ball for Meshach Nugent who flicked the ball over Bromley goalkeeper Danny Harwood and into the net.

Bromley offered very little in attacks throughout the game with Bromley's top scorer, Adolph Amoako twice going close and a Michael Harney free kick sailing over the crossbar ten minutes into the second half.

Bromley were saved by an offside flag after 63 minutes when Russell Bedford's cross-cum-shot from the right channel flew over Harwood and dropped into the net inside the far post, but the flag was raised for a dubious offside inside the penalty area.

Harwood, however, made two brilliant reflex saves from Nugent, a minute before his match-winning strike, and from Ronnie Green just before the hour.
