Bromley 1-0 Torquay United

The Ravens recorded their first win of the season with a smart performance against a physical Torquay side. Too physical, evidently, as Torquay’s number six, Ross Marshall, saw red for flooring Michael Cheek when he was through on goal. While Marshall was busy rinsing off his Head & Shoulders, Bromley were busy bossing the game. But it took an art-gallery-worthy Louis Dennis strike to crack The Gulls’ egg.

This was a match full of energy and atmosphere, alive with that first-Tuesday-night-under-the-lights buzz. Of course, every game has its good, bad, and ugly, but this one filled up the good column and put a spring in the step of even the bristliest Bromley fans.
