Week 1

Bromley by Bow FC (3) vs B.Y.M (0)

Bromley FC show BYM..

Expectations were high for from Bromley FC after returning from there Summer USA Tour and there average BFA Summer League performance. A moment of silence was observed before the match as the sound of the tractor beside the pitch drowned out any teamtalk, but the Gaffer Shof got a few words in sideway as they kicked off there first domestic game since the BFA Summer League fixtures.

BYM were the first week fixture, a team that lives on draws and a couple of wins to survive the drop from the premier league every season. Bromley were in the driving seat from the start of the game and dominated every department until the final whistle. Quick passes dazzled the opposition as they tried there best to keep up with the game. It wasn't long before until A.Hamid broke the deadlock with a thuderous strike that left BYM rooted. Bromley had many chances that went into disarray, until Bahar took his after returning to the side from his injury that saw him miss the Summer League. This got Bromley back into gear again as BYM made no threats with some of the possesion they had as Bromley slotted in the 3rd and the second for A.Hamid. Final Whistle saw the game end 3-0 to Bromley.

Manager Commented "On a good day we could have scored 6/7 goals, but its the 3 points is a good start and we can positively build on this. "

Week 2

Bromley by Bow FC (7) vs Bromley B (1)

Bromley beats Bromley...A very friendly local derby or is it ?

Promotion for Bromley B in last years ILFL Div 1 - Winter League see's two Bromley by Bow teams in the Premier Division. At last a derby that the residents and supports of bbbfc can enjoy. As expected Bromley B were fired up and the Bromley FC team composed and reserved as ever. As the local crowds turned upto Meath Gardens football pitch, local residents from the area treated the game as a super sunday match with deck chairs and gazebo's sited along the gardens and balconies.

The game started of with both teams losing possession but it was Bromley FC that dictated the game aliitle while later. After the first goal went in for Bromley FC by Bahar who beat the offside trap, Bromley B lost concentration and the urgency had dropped. It was goals galore from then on as goals from Imran, Dipon and another from Bahar saw the half time score of 4-0 to Bromley FC.

The second half was no differrent from the first as Bromley B struggled with the pace of the game and were second to every ball. A hattrick from Bahar pretty much sealed the game at 5-0 but this was not enough as A.Hamid scored to silence his critics (Bromley B Manager Nagim & Somsul) on the opposite sideline with a finger on his lips. Substitute Mashuk scored the 7th by rolling the ball into the bottom corner, but Bromley B wrapped up the game with a consoliation goal scored by Kohinoor as he beat Keeper Amin in exquiste fashion with the keeper being no stranger in seeing the ball go over him. A scoreline of 7-1 to Bromley FC.

Bromley B Manager Nagim Commented:"A harsh scoreline, but we didn't play to the standards required and we got too excited about the fact that we are playing Bromley FC and lost focus from the start, we need to step up our game."

Bromley FC Manager Shofique "Its good to see 2 teams from the same residing area play each other under Bromley by Bow Community Organisation (BBBCO) and fly the banner for BBBFC in the ILFL Premier League, but Bromley B will need to raise there game if they want to survive"

Week 3

Bromley FC (6) vs Beaumont FC (3)

Hat-trick or Treat for Beaumont...

An brillant performance that saw Bromley by Bow FC fire on all cylinders with Bahar grabing and producing another hattrick performance and not so behind was A.Hamid with a couple of stunners, one of which was goal of the match with an amazing strike on the volley as he fell backwards as the ball was drifted into the top corner. Kalvin also scored a neat goal ending a simple pass and move on the field. Although Bromley FC conceded 3 goals from set pieces while Keeper Amin had to be replaced with an injury, there was nothing to worry about as Beaumont could not hold the ball as Oli played his part in the middle as he saw off any potential threats. Bahar was again Man of the Match with his 3 goals which he took professionaly along with the match ball that he later returned during the Thursday Training @ Marner School. Final Score 6-3 to Bromley by Bow FC.

Manager Shof' Commented "We played some great football and fully deserved to take all 3 points, its a shame the Keeper got injured as the defending during the set pieces was terrible and we leaked in 3 goals, but the game was wrapped up anyway who cares ??... hopefully it won't happy against Stepney next week !"

Week 4

Bromley (1) vs Stepney FC (1)

Back to the Draw-ing Board..

Bitter rivals Stepney Green FC and last years ILFL League Winners was the Week 4 - ILFL Winter League fixture as both the teams were joint top after 3 successive wins from there first 3 games. The game was a tight fixture as Hanif roared on the back line for Bromley, chance were a few but Bromley had the best of them as Bahar missed an opening sitter that saw a goalless half-time. Stepney were kept at bay as Bromley failed to find the goal. The 2nd half started of lively with both teams getting a sniff at goal but it was Bahar that found the net to give Bromley the lead but as the game settled down, Stepney substitute Zola ran in between the defence to equalise. Bromley could of put the game beyond reach but Bahar and Abdul missed two great opportunities that saw the game end in a Draw. A good penalty shout was also turned down by the Ref' as Bahar was taken out by the Keeper, but the referee was not ready for a big game decision. The goal difference keeps Bromley on top of the table.

Manager commented "We had a few good chances to get hold of the game but the players failed to take them and they have settled for a boring draw, also the ref let us down as he didn't have the experience to referee a big game"
