Cup Fever!

It’s been a while since I last posted, but what better time to resume than with Bromley in the first round of the FA Cup and facing a trip to League One Leyton Orient. It’s fair to say we’ve got there the hard way with wins over fellow BSS sides Welling & Dartford, both of whom are above us in the league and the away win at Margate coming back from 2-0 down with 21mins left. All wins have been achieved with single goal margins and we have so far been awarded and scored four penalties! Three from Danny Waldren and one from Hakeem Araba. The win at Dartford in the last round, our first ever at Princes Park, was tribute to the hard work and team ethic of the current squad Mark Goldberg has built. This is the third time we have reached this stage of the cup under Goldberg and that’s some achievement in six seasons. Let’s hope when we make the trip over the river to East London MG has a full squad to pick from with no injuries or suspensions unlike on previous occasions.

In the league we face a trip to Boreham Wood on Saturday who will be up to avenge the 4-0 trashing we dealt them at Hayes Lane in August, with us only 8pts off the drop zone it’s important we pick up at least a point before we focus on the upcoming cup games in the FA Cup, Kent Senior Cup & FA Trophy this November.
