Bromsgrove Sporting continued their preparations for the new season with a pre-season friendly against Sutton Coldfield Town from the Northern Premier League Division South-East.

Bromsgrove started stronger and as early as the 4th minute, Aaron Roberts again playing centre-back send a sublime pass up field to Keiron Berry who controlled well before putting a good shot just wide of the Sutton post.

From then the game slowed down, Berry though was continuing to make a nuisance of himself.

Sporting's better control paid off in the 25th minute when a good ball into the home penalty area fell to Berry who slotted home into the bottom left hand corner from a few yards out.

Sutton improved noticeably in the second half and got a deserved equaliser on 56 minutes with their centre forward glancing in a cross from the left to make the final score 1-1.
