Blake is delighted at Rocks feast
Robbie Blake hailed his fivestar heroes after they delivered a superb awayday victory at Cray Wanderers in the Isthmian premier division.
The Rocks chalked up a stunning 5-1 victory as the hosts drew the curtain on their 26-year ground-sharing stay at Bromley FC’S Hayes Lane.
Blake’s men went one down on seven minutes when Nyren Clunis grabbed the opener. But Tommy-lee Higgs brought them level with a brilliant goal and the Rocks didn’t look back.
Jasper Mather helped himself to a double, Craig Robson cracked home another and Alfie Bridgman was also on the scoresheet.
Mather made it 2-1 on 37 minutes and influential central defender Robson hit home a stunning volley on 57 minutes. Bridgeman extended the advantage on the 76th minute before Mather added No5.
Blake said: “We were outstanding – yes, we gave a silly goal away again which was disappointing but the lads responded really well and some of the football we played was exceptional. At times it's good to watch and we now need to keep on this same path of what we’re trying to achieve and what we want to do.
“We saw some great goals, some great play and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. When you've supposedly got nothing to play for and the lads have got to come here and go to Concord Rangers on Tuesday it can be hard.
"But you saw a hunger in our lads and I have been saying to the boys, ‘do not step off it because we have to finish as strong as we possibly can’ and I thought we did that, scored some really good goals and moved the ball really well.”
