MICHAEL Cheek scored twice as Bromley stretched their lead at the top of League Two to five points after their seventh successive victory, this time 2-0 at Tranmere Rovers.
Cheek scored in the second and 57th minus to help the Ravens to an eleventh win in their last twelve league games.
Tranmere’s Nathan Smith almost equalised but his effort hit the post.
“I thought it was a real tough game for us and it was a real battle throughout the entire 93 minutes,” Bromley boss Andy Woodman said.
“Fair play to Tranmere, they gave us a real tough game, but we expect that from everyone in this league.
“We stood up to the battle and I thought we had some good moments of quality on a difficult day.
“Two goals away from home and a clean sheet – I can’t ask any more than that from my team.
“Fair play to my guys, they really did all the dogged stuff that was needed of them to win that football match.
“The early goal makes you happier, but they had a good little period after that and we were struggling to get to grips with the game.
“As a team and to a man, I thought we were excellent all over the pitch.”
Bromley travel to seventh-place Chesterfield this Saturday for an earlier 12.30pm kick-off.
