day, when it counted most. Well done also to Saltford for your contribution to a great advert for Division D football. (P,Hyde). Nothing like saving your best till last, as they say! The facts were that St.Aldhelms were champions and had won 18, drawn 1 and lost 1 game all season suggested then that Bromley Heath were going to be up against it in this game. Bromley decided to play with a 5 man midfield and one up front in an attempt to stop the St.Aldhelms well known passing game. The plan seemed to be working well everyone got stuck in and kept to the task. Aldhelms just could not get past our back 4 and even if they did Ross Baker the Bromley goalie was quick off his line to stop the danger. Bromley started to create chances as Daniel Colquhoun, Greg Ward, Tom Shore, James Budden and Joe O'Connor found gaps in the Aldhelms defence. Connor Cairaschi the loan forward ran his socks off in an effort to get on the end of any passes. The 1st goal came about when a low hard cross from James Budden out on the left found a surprised Tom Nash who stuck a leg out in a effort to poke the ball towards goal, the ball then caught the toe of a Aldhelms defender and went in low to the keepers left. Not so long after it was half time. The 2nd half started and Aldhelms came out of the blocks quickest but Bromley stuck at it and weathered the storm which also brought about 1 or 2 fine saves from Ross Baker and last ditch defending from Sam Skuse, George Amos Tom Nash and Danny Hickey. Jake Alderman came on for the hard working front man Connor. This seemed to lift us again and we almost scored what would of been the goal of the season had it gone in. Sam Skuse shot down the right and put a fantastic cross straight on to James Buddens head who's header just went over the bar. Aldhelms looked like they had ran out of ideas and with just a few minutes left Bromley put the result to bed when Aldhelms committed a foul just outside the penalty area. Greg ward stepped up to blast a perfectly placed kick that Beckham himself would of been proud of. FT 2-0 to Bromley Heath. (S.Alderman).
