DARRELL Clarke was impressed with Bristol Rovers' character in their 2-1 victory against Bromley in the first round of the Emirates FA Cup.

The game took a while to break into life and it was not until the 25th minute that Rovers striker Fabrizio Cavegn had the first genuine chance on goal, shooting into the side-netting when well set.

At the other end Luke Southwood did well to deny Jude Arthurs.

Bromley sprung into life on the hour-mark and Southwood produced three great saves to deny Michael Cheek twice and Mitch Pinnock.

With Bromley continuing to press, Jemiah Umolu headed on to the roof of the net with Southwood beaten. It was Rovers who took the lead, however, with 14 minutes remaining, with Cavegn heading in after great work from Luke Thomas.
