Bromsgrove Sporting 3 (C. Taylor 4', Raison 74', Shorrock 90+1' Red Card Ebanks 80')
Lowestoft Town 1 (Jarvis 56' Red Card Knights 53')

Bromsgrove Sporting returned to winning ways, with a resounding victory over Lowestoft Town.

Connor Taylor's opener was cancelled out by a Ryan Jarvis header, before goals from debutant Toby Raison and winger Will Shorrock sealed the win for the Rouslers.

Taylor opened the scoring after another new signing, Jonathan Letford, teed him up to slot home into the bottom corner from inside the area.

Sporting skipper Nathan Hayward had a couple of good chances soon after, the first being a header that was saved well before a crisp volley flew narrowly wide.

Lowestoft's first chance came 28 minutes in, as Owen Lane's effort was struck straight at Bromsgrove keeper Ollie Taylor.

Eight minutes into the second half, Harry Knights was red carded for a possible elbow, but three minutes later they equalised, as a free kick into the area was knocked into the path of Jarvis, who headed home.

Sporting would regain the lead in the 74th minute - a Shorrock ball into the box was headed down by Hayward, allowing Hereford loanee Raison to strike home.

It was a red card apiece in the 80th minute, as Sporting substitute Callum Ebanks was given his marching orders for an off the ball incident.

The scoring was complete in the first minute of additional time, as some wonderful Shorrock trickery saw him beat a defender before finding the bottom corner with aplomb.
