Liam Feeney is in full contention to face Bromley following his recovery from long-term injury.

THE OPPOSITION

The Ravens took on Dagenham & Redbridge in their mid-week fixture, where Ben Krauhaus clinched a 1-1 draw in the 88th minute to avoid defeat on home soil.

The side from Greater London currently sit in sixth position, with Andy Woodman’s side registering 10 wins and 9 draws from 27 games this season.

In 2014/15, Bromley won the Conference South, winning 23of their 40 fixtures that season and beating eventual play-off winners Boreham Wood to the title by just two points.

Bromley edged National League play-offs in the 2020/21 season by a singular point for their first ever time, securing the last spot ahead of Wrexham.

It was an early exit though for Woodman’s side when three goals across seven minutes in the first half by eventual play-off winners Hartlepool made the fixture a mountain to climb.

The Ravens will be hoping to try themselves again as they continue to hold down a play-off spot towards the top-end of the Vanarama National League this season.
