I think that Paul and myself knew this was going to be a tough game, Bromley and Lytham both sitting on equal points above us at top of the table. We had heard that Bromley liked to shoot on sight and would attack us straight from the off. We had noticed that our Warriors took at least 15 minutes to warm up and get into 1st gear, so this concerned us a little.
Thankfully our girls made a good start and the 1st 20 minutes were good and we seemed to be holding them off well. They were a very physical team, strong and competitive, which in the end started to get the better of us. They scored a couple of goals before half time giving them the edge for the second half.
We have been down 2-0 twice before at half time and come back well, and we hoped this might have been the case again. But again this team showed much more determination than we did and managed to control most of the 2nd half.
We did feel that their referee wasn't up to standard, giving many decisions in favour of Bromley, and also I think his stopwatch was slow, playing well over the 30 minutes in both of the halves. This was noted and sent to the league for their records.
In the end the final score was 5-0. I think that our girls can produce a better result next time we play this team, as long as they fight for the ball, and never give up. We have to match them in competitiveness, we have the quality that's for sure.

Perhaps the reason the referee played over 30 mins is down to the games is 35 mins each way.
Hello there
Nope, the games are 30 mins each way. I even heard the ref say to someone on the touchline, after being asked the question "How long is left ref" his reply was, not sure, I will work it out in a minute. Not great.
