Academy on tour!

Bromley Football Club’s academy scholars have used the close season to enjoy some of trips off site.

Last week, academy coaches Danny Mills and Glyn Shimell took a squad of players up to Liverpool to enjoy the experience of an away trip. The players travelled up on Tuesday afternoon, had an overnight stay in Widnes, and then played a game against Liverpool Football University on Wednesday morning. The young Ravens took an early lead against a team made up of second year students, and for some time, held their own. Liverpool came back with 3 goals before the Ravens replied. In an entertaining game, the final result was 6-4. Post match, the players enjoyed taking in the historic football city and visited both Anfield and Goodison Park before heading into the city centre and docks for an evening meal.

On Wednesday, a trip a bit closer to home saw the academy graduates enjoy a day out at Camber sands. The players enjoyed a light training session on the dunes and then had a BBQ lunch cooked by the coaches, before entertaining themselves with more beach games and dips into the sea.

All in all, it was an excellent couple of trips, with two great sets of players representing the Bromley badge with pride.

Academy host Crystal Palace in pre-season friendly

The Bromley FC Academy hosted neighbours Crystal Palace at Hayes Lane on Saturday, with the young Ravens falling to a narrow 1-0 defeat.

It was a tough contest for both sides on the day in blistering conditions on the Stadium pitch. In the end, the 2017-18 Premier League Under 18 Champions Crystal Palace, secured the pre-season victory with a 1-0 win but the academy had many positives to take out of the fixture.

The result itself was of less importance on the afternoon, as it often is in pre-season, with The Ravens Academy handing out 4 debuts from players involved in the U16’s. One of the more notable performances came from Cameron Edwards, with the young goalkeeper showing huge potential and effort to keep the score at 0-1 with three excellent saves.

The other three debutants were Jamie Watson, Harry Thomas and Ollie Tanner who all stepped up to experience a taste of things to come when they begin with the academies pre-season schedule in the first week of August.

Upcoming fixtures against Millwall, Ipswich and Norwich along with many more should help prepare the young Ravens for an exciting and promising 2018-19 campaign.

This is an outstanding achievement and one that Bromley Football Club want to celebrate with him. We wish him all the best for his future and thank him for being a first class Bromley Football Club Academy role model.

Bromley’s Academy started their season on Wednesday with just a single home fixture being played at Hayes Lane. The 2nd Years played host to Whyteleafe, and the young Ravens got their season off to a superb start as they won 5-0 on the Stadium pitch.

Other impressive away performances came in from Academy sides throughout the afternoon with a 6-0 win coming against Charlton Athletic Trust and a 4-0 win against The Halley Academy!

Tough defeats came at the hands of Maplesden Noakes, with Bromley going down 7-3 to the Maidstone based school. And one of our sides faced a trip to Gravesend Grammar School and after going 3-0 down in the game, the Ravens put on a spirited comeback to score twice late on. Unfortunately that didn’t prove enough on the afternoon, as they went on to lose the match 3-2.

On the whole it was a successful week of matches for the Academy, with a number of the 1st Year sides still getting to know each other. We will provide you further updates throughout the season, with our Academy growing from strength to strength!

As ever, a huge thank you to our fantastic sponsors of the Academy; Go Travel, Life Lab, Chamber Furniture and Monster Energy Hydrate.
