Trialist Mario Noto

A Crystal Palace XI won 2-1 at Ryman Division One outfit Bromley.

Bromley scored just three minutes into the start of the match with a well-taken free-kick from outside the box from Solomon Taiwo.

Palace hit back a minute later through Argentinian trialist Mario Noto with a similar free-kick after Gareth Williams had been fouled on the edge of the area.

Jay Conroy put Palace ahead in the 27th minute, with a sweetly-struck shot from outside the box.

Palace made a number of changes in the second half and they held out for a comfortable 2-1 victory over the side backed by former chairman Mark Goldberg.

Palace: Banks (Berthelin 45), Conroy (Wilson 63), Simpson, Soares (Fray 80), Togwell, El-Sahali (Beckles 45), Berry, Pritchard (Dolan 63), Onochie (Prigent 63), Williams, Noto (Hall 74).
