MAIDENHEAD UNITED 1 (0) |
BROMLEY 2 (1) |

A goal in either half was enough to give
visitors Bromley safe passage into the third round of the Setanta
Shield tonight at York Road with Maidenhead edging the game on
chances but unable to get the ball in the net until stoppage time.
Gavin James, making his first start of the season, almost gave United the lead in the 18th minute when a curling shot was tipped round the post by Andy Walker, who had an impressive night in goal for Bromley. It was Chico Ramos' turn to shine seven minutes later when he made a flying save from Sam Wood, making amends for the slip which gave Wood the chance to shoot. Bromley took the lead ten minutes before half time when a cross from the right found Tutu Henriques in acres of space at the far post, the former Charlton defender taking his time to apply a lethal finish to score. Maidenhead almost equalised ahead of the interval, when one of several telling crosses from the left by Ronayne Benjamin hit the bar. The woodwork again denied United on the stroke of half time when a long shot from Dwane Lee clipped the top of the cross bar. The second half saw Maidenhead push hard for an equaliser, and with the introduction of Wes Daly and Manny Williams, a goal looked likely. Once again it was Walker in the Bromley goal who maintained his side's lead diving to his right to save one handed when a Dwane Lee header met an Ashley Smith cross from the right. Bromley then sealed victory with five minutes remaining when a Wood cross from the left hit the crossbar and rebounded into the net of the helpless Grant Cooper. Maidenhead made sure the scoreline ended a little more accurately when Williams popped up to score from a Smith free kick. |
