Nicke Kabamba's late winner settled a pulsating clash as Bromley maintained their grip on top spot in League Two with a 2-1 victory over fellow promotion hopefuls Swindon.

Swindon took the lead inside 10 minutes, as a flowing move saw Ollie Palmer feed Aaron Drinan who crossed for Fletcher Holman to score his first goal for the Robins.

The visitors could have had a second when Grant Smith stopped Drinan's angled drive before the Bromley custodian did even better to keep out James Ball's header and denied Holman as the frontman turned Palmer's pass goalwards.

In first-half stoppage time Connor Ripley blocked Jude Arthurs' effort whilst Smith continued his personal duel with Holman, stopping him at point-blank range.

Bromley found themselves level immediately after the restart, as Lakyle Samuel's cross was cleared only as far as Ashley Charles, who volleyed in.

And it was Kabamba who was to have the final say in the game as he got on the end of Idris Odutayo's cross to head in the winner and stretch Bromley's unbeaten run to nine games.
