The snowy Easter period continued on this Bank Holiday fixture with both sides looking to build on some recent good results.
Westerham started clear favorites as before the game they were placed 4th and Bromleians lying in 8th with 2 games in hand.
The first 20 minutes both sides were adapting to the difficult conditions, however it was Westerham who were on top. Some slick passing moves ended with two chances flying past the Bromleians far post.
The opener came against the run of play on 32 minutes. Alfred Keroma beat his man and then played a slick one-two with his strike partner Steve Shippey, Keroma carried the ball to the by-line and cut back for Shippey who clinically gave Bromleians an undeserved lead.
Westerham seemed to take that goal hard, and were visibly arguing amongst themselves and management when another chance went begging just before the break. H/T 0-1
Whatever Manager Ben Kotey said at half-time clearly worked as the Bromleians came out firing on all cylinders in the second and Westerham just could not cope with Bromleians attacking movement.
In arguably the best move of the game an angled ball by right back Jamie Collins found Shippey whose deft flicked header sent Bromleians new winger Mark down the right, and his inch perfect cross was smashed home by Keroma on 55.
It was very soon 0-3 as an awful clearance by the Westerham goalkeeper was simply lobbed back over him by Keroma who could not believe his luck.
Midfielder Gary nicknamed 'Gazza' finished off Westerham on 72 minutes we he raced through to beat to off-side trap and smashed the ball low into the bottom left corner.
Kotey replaced Shippey & Keroma on 75 introducing Michaels & Brewer into the attack.
Westerham made two Subs but it did little as Bromleians recorded an impressive win to move them up to seventh with games in hand.
