Next Sunday 13th away to Harrogate.

Good win by Brackley, one win away from the National Conference.

Yeah it’s amazing what a Sugar Daddy with deep pockets can achieve.

After losing the Hillier Cup to K*ttering and then the Play Off Final at Harrogate what are their chances of beating Bromley in the Trophy on sunday?

Pretty slim I would reckon. But lets wish them well anyway.

Currently losing 1-0 at halftime but I thought the Bromley player was marginally offside. Ex Oadby Town striker, Ndlovu, not offering a lot up front.

1-1 et being played. Byrne scored 90+5.

Reliable final penalty taker

CONGRATS to Brackley. They win on pens after missing their first kick but come back to win 5-4. I bet Pressman is a happy bunny.

Brackley played a lot better in the second half and had quite a few good opportunities to equalise and when it looked all over they scored from a Roger Johnson own goal after the ball came back off a post in the last minute of added time. Bromley really should have won the penalty shoot out after Shane Byrne missed Brackley’s first pen but the pressure seemed to get to Bromley with two late misses and Brackley kept their nerve and deservedly won the Trophy.

Well done Brackley.
