A note for Cray Wanderers supporters that the Wands U23s play the final game of SCEFL Development League West this evening vs SC Thamesmead. This match was scheduled to be played at Bayliss Avenue yesterday but with agreement with SC Thamesmead and the SCEFL League was moved to Flamingo Park. Kick off 7.45 pm.
The league table makes interesting reading as Cray currently top the league with 56 points after finally receiving the award of six points for two matches called off by Glebe and Sutton Athletic on the night of the matches. This moved Roy Brooke’s side ahead of Erith Town by one point who have 55 points but have two matches to play.
Cray’s last match was a 1-2 defeat at Tunbridge Wells on the 17th April which gave Erith a point lead but they too dropped points in a 3-3 draw at Stansfeld but did close the gap to a point after a 5-0 with at Sutton Athletic earlier this week. Erith finish the season with two home games but against the teams in 4th and 3rd, Stansfeld and Kent United so will be tested. So imperative that Cray pick up the three points to put pressure on the Dockers for the final games.
Cray won 8-2 when the teams last met on 27th September with goals from Victor Damyanov (2), George Brooke (2), Michael Ihiedi (3) and Tom Borders. All four have appeared for the first team either this and last season.
All in all it has been a very satisfactory debut season for the U23s whatever the outcome of the season and another feather in the cap for Cray Wanderers to have this team of players and management with us.
