Brentwood 4 (3) v Romford 2 (0) – Attendance 87
After much probing at both ends it was Brentwood who took the lead on 17 minutes through Steve Butterworth.
The home side then proceeded to build on this with further goals by Danny Dafter and Darren Blewitt on 21 and 30 minutes respectively to take a clear three goal lead into half time.
Romford came out in the second period with the obvious intentions of getting something out of this game but went even further behind on 58 minutes through Neil Cousins who found himself clear in front of goal to choose his spot in which to score.
The visitors still tried hard to reduce their deficit and eventually did so on 72 minutes when Matt Toms drove home from outside the area and Joe Oates took their tally to two goals when he produced a similar shot on 83 minutes.
Boro continued to press but this is how the score remained until the final whistle with them mainly on the offensive but Brentwood still looking dangerous on the break.
Romford squad: Anderson, Mackin, Seymour, J.Barry, Ishmail (Toms 63), Clayton © (Kavanagh 80), Bingham, Odedoyin; Smith, Reynolds, Dicks (Oates 63).
