Bromley’s 2021-22 National League campaign started with a 4-2 defeat against Dagenham and Redbridge on Saturday.

Byron Webster and Michael Cheek scored the Ravens goals in their first game of the season after last weekend’s opener against Grimsby Town was postponed due to a Covid-19 outbreak in Grimsby’s squad.

Dulwich Hamlet lost 2-0 at home against Dartford in National League South on Saturday. Goals from Josh Hill and Tyrique Hyde gave the visitors all three points.

Hamlet take on Hemel Hempstead Town FC next.
