Bromley extended their unbeaten run to five games with a narrow victory over an in form Dorchester side at Hayes Lane.

The away team got off to a great start on 6 minutes when a long clearance from Benjamin Buchell fell to Ben Watson who finished well.

Straight after Charlie Clough missed a great chance to make it two, before Bromley finally settled.

The Ravens were unlucky not to be awarded a penalty when Mike Jones was fouled in the box, but Referee Ellis was unsighted.

Sam Malsom blazed over for Dorchester as they looked to hit Bromley on the break, while Louie Theophanous has the home side’s best chance forcing a point blank save from Buchell.

The second half saw Bromley look to attack from the off, Ishmael Welsh missed a good chance as did Theophanous before the equaliser came on 55 minutes when Ali Fuseini’s free kick was headed home by Pierre Joseph-Dubois.

Just after the hour Magpies Keeper Buchell was seriously injured when saving a shot and had to be carried off with the Referee controversially calling play to a halt with Jones poised to shoot on goal.

Both sides had chances as the half went on, but it was The Ravens who took their’s on 84 minutes when Elliott Buchanan drove the ball home from the edge of the box after a good spell of pressure.

Max Noble missed a good chance to extend the lead before Nick Crittenden fired a free kick just over for the visitors late on, but Mark Goldberg’s men held out for the three points.
