As of recent years, the words ‘Bromley’ and ‘history’ have become somewhat of a collocation.
In 2022 they beat Wrexham to win the FA trophy, in 2024 they gained their first-ever promotion to the EFL, via the National League playoffs.
Then, in 2025 they played away to Newcastle United in the third round of the FA Cup – the furthest the Ravens have reached in that competition.
This campaign remains no different. Bromley are still the only team in England’s top four divisions to avoid a league defeat at home this campaign, and are on course to achieve promotion to League One as they sit five points clear at the top of the League Two table.
Following Saturday’s 1-0 victory against Colchester United at the CopperJax Community Stadium, Andy Woodman’s side have now added another record to a season of milestones.
Twenty-one games undefeated, spanning from December 9th to March 20th, surpasses the record previously held by managers Charles Juniper and John Biddle in the 1950/51 and 1979/80 seasons respectively.
In a lively game that juxtaposed a low-scoring affair, it was Nicke Kabamba’s 73rd minute winner that claimed all three points for the hosts.
His close-range swivel that found the roof of the net took his tally up to 12 goals this campaign and puts the 33-year-old second for most goals per 90 minutes (0.73).
Yet Bromley, and Kabamba, could’ve come away with more. In the first half, the forward’s header was impressively kept out by goalkeeper Matt Macey following a Mitch Pinnock free kick.
Ashley Charles saw his volley bounce back off the crossbar and, in the second 45, Damola Ajayi’s volleyed attempt was matched with the same result.
Albeit, Colchester United had their fair share of chances too. Most notably, Kyreece Lisbie struck the post inside 20 minutes, and the winger had a second-half effort cleared off the line by Idris Odutayo too.
Speaking to Bromley’s media team about the record-breaking unbeaten run after the game, Andy Woodman joked, “What stand do I get named after? Do I get a stand named after me? Please, I must get a tea hut!”
He later expressed, “Of course I’m proud. Look, I’m proud of all the things that we’ve achieved- we’ve achieved a load of things.
“But, there’s only one thing we want to achieve lets be honest. I just want to make sure I get this club to exactly where I promised I would get them to.”
The obvious target is automatic promotion to League One and, in Woodman’s own terms, ‘Project Champions’ which he told FromBromleyWithLove is the new target following the Ravens’ 1-0 win against Bristol Rovers last Saturday.
With MK Dons dropping points in a 3-1 loss to Barnet in the early kick off, Bromley extended their gap at the top to five points and Opta’s supercomputer now gives the Ravens an increased 67.74% probability of winning the League Two title.
Next up for Bromley is the side sitting at the completely opposite end of the table as they travel to 24th-placed Barrow.
Easter Friday sees the Ravens face Barnet, and Bromley’s final five include three promotion contenders in MK Dons, Cambridge United and Salford City.
It will be a tough ask for the league leaders to keep this unbeaten run up until the conclusion of the 2025/26 League Two season with difficult fixtures still yet to play.
Albeit, don’t be too surprised if Bromley follow the story of their season and end up finding a way.
