After an encouraging opening 45 minutes, our hopes effectively evaporated in that sorrowful nine-minute implosion early in that second half.
Alas, some woeful defending at a couple of set pieces completely changed the complexion of the game and allowed Bromley to gain momentum (mind you, that heinous pitch should be credited with an assist for that second goal).
The excellent third goal was a killer, and although we did clip their crossbar from a couple of free kicks, you couldn't really envisage a way back for us.
Disappointed, naturally, but not entirely surprised by that outcome. Bromley outmuscle you, It's just what they do to great effect.
Nonetheless, it's been a superb and entertaining season during which we have exceeded most people's expectations.
I think that the key objective on the playing front now is to increase the depth of talent within the squad. I didn't really feel that our bench today contained anyone who could turn the tide back in our favour.
The club has achieved gargantuan progress in recent seasons, both on and off the pitch, and we can only hope that things continue to move in the right direction.
Splendid support and noise from the Alty supporters this afternoon, too.
