This was pretty much our first chance to see many of the new Reserve Team, although there were a few first teamers who played the first hour,(Forbes,Garland,Hollidge& Hyland).
It proved to be a very well competed game and actually got a bit naughty either side of the break! We took the lead on 43mins when a very fast young forward got to a thru ball fist and chipped the keeper. O’Hara in the Bromley goal was beaten on 70mins when a Cray move down the left was volleyed home from close range. He was beaten twice more, but alert defenders cleared off the line on both occasions. Simmonds in the Cray goal made two great saves from long range efforts, so it just about finished right, all square in the battle for Hayes Lane Honour.
