Bromley Heath United are new additions to the Gloucestershire County League, having been promoted as champions of the Bristol & Suburban League Premier Division.

They have had a poor start to the season, having lost their opening five matches, which sees them one off the foot of the league table, courtesy of a better goal difference than bottom club Hardwicke. Wick arrived here as league leaders, having won five of their first six games, so this looked like it might be a predictable outcome, but that was not the case.

It was a pretty even first half, which saw both clubs have chances to go in front. A speculative shot, from the corner of the 18 yard box, was spilled by the Wick ‘keeper and was poked in from close range to give Bromley Heath the lead five minutes before the break. Wick piled on the pressure in the second half, but were not able to break down a very resolute home defence and the hosts hung on to gain their first win of the season, which sees them climb another place in the league table. The defeat sees Wick drop down to third.
