In truth the visitors should have taken all three points back too Hayes Lane but a succession of first half missed chances almost presented Thurrock with their first home win of the season. Much acclaimed, midfielder Danny Waldren saw his goal bound free kick turned away by David Hughes, before Anthony Thomas fired wide when well placed.
In contrast, Thurrock were arguably the prominent force at the start of the second half and scored just their eighth home goal of the campaign. Defensive hesitancy allowed David Knight through on goal and the striker coolly rounded Joe Welch before slotting Thurrock in front.
The hosts had chances to extend their slender advantage, Knight blazed over from a good position and Ben Hunt forced Welch into a good reflex save to keep Bromley within touching distance. Mark Goldberg made three changes just past the hour mark but with little effect as the visitors couldn’t force an equaliser. Then, with time running out, came the decisive moment. Malcolm, who arrived from Ryman Premier League side Lewes at the start of the month, rose to covert Ali Fuseini’s cross and secure a dramatic point for the Lilywhites in their quest to avoid the drop.
They say that goals change games, could this last gasp leveller be a turning point in the Kent-based clubs season?
