Saturday saw Bromley and Beckenham on the wrong side of a five-one score line as they lost out to high-flying Canterbury.

Having lost six nil to the same opposition on the opening game of the season, BromBeck knew that it was going to be a tough game but were determined that they could get something from it. Unfortunately the best laid plans didn’t materialise and in the first half then BromBeck conceded three sloppy goals that left them with an uphill struggle if they were going to take away points. It wasn’t entirely one-way traffic and man-of-the-match, Charlotte Davies, worked tirelessly up front to win several short corners. The routines worked well but some excellent saves by the Canterbury keeper and some solid clearances by the defence, ensured that Canterbury went in to the break with their three nil lead intact.

If BromBeck were going to have a chance of getting back in to the game then it was important that they scored early in the second half and didn’t concede. However, once again the plans went pear-shaped as Canterbury increased their lead through a well taken goal early in the half. There was now a mountain to climb for BromBeck and one that proved to be impossible, as Canterbury further increased their lead and Julia Wiskow’s late goal for BromBeck was merely a consolation. Final score five one to Canterbury.
