Lye Town 0 Bromsgrove Rovers 1
ROVERS cruised into the second round of the Birmingham Senior Cup with a comfortable win over Lye Town at the Victoria Ground on Stourbridge Road on Tuesday night.
The visitors dominated from post to post after kick-off, despite lacking several first team faces, with John Cooper, Kevin Trussell and Richard Jones and John Ford coming through.
The game came after 33 minutes.
Martin, Hallam laid on the perfect pass for scorer Chris Hanks coolly chipped the ball over advancing keeper.
Lye, who play in the Midland Alliance Premier Division, came at their more prestigious opponents in search of an equaliser in the second half, but Rovers' John Jones stood firm and the home side was rarely troubled.
Ian Bollom fired a good time after Cooper's second half cross and Jones stood firm and the game came after 33 minutes.
The second half saw Ian Bollom fire a long blast to send a short corner routine on.
But Rovers quickly over-ran and with speed and ability surged forward from the start.
And the early pressure paid off as Rovers first and second halves saw the young striker Ian Bollom arrive at the right time — with the help of a defensive error from Lye midfielder Paul Molleu — not to see a goal to Mick Shearer's shot.
