Bromley's New Signings Shine in Pre-Season Stalemate
Bromley's new signings Ethon Archer and Mathis Servais starred in a hard-fought pre-season draw against Millwall at Hayes Lane. The Ravens' pre-season schedule had included a trip to Portugal featuring games against Sporting Lisbon B and West Bromwich Albion.
What happened?
Bromley looked to replicate the heights of a 3-0 victory at Hayes Lane over Conference League winners Crystal Palace, but freak results in pre-season are always common. The Ravens' new signings, including Shamal George, Ethon Archer, and Deon Woodman, made it into the starting eleven along with 18-year-old Freddie Cowin, who hasn't yet made his senior debut for Bromley.
Why it matters for Bromley
Millwall themselves were handing out a first start for young winger Kyrell Lisbie, the 22-year-old having signed from Peterborough United after a very strong first season in the EFL. Bromley were always going to frustrate, especially with a number of their experienced pros starting, but it was Millwall who nearly struck first through Mathis Servais, a loose shot in the first ten minutes barely finding its way over the bar.
What comes next?
Bromley's next fixture is against Stockport County at home on 2027-01-16. The Ravens will be looking to build on their pre-season performances and get off to a strong start in the upcoming campaign.
