BILLERICAY Town will be playing Ryman Premier football again next season after losing their play-off final at Bromley on penalties.

The scores were locked at 1-1 after extra time and Town's prowess from the spot deserted them as they lost 4-2 to the Kent club, who will be playing in the Blue Square Southern division next season.

Matt Jones' side had reached the final after defeating Essex rivals Chelmsford City 5-3 on penalties in the semi-finals after a 1-1 scoreline following 120 minutes of play.
