Cray Valley PM pulled of a well deserved win at Park View Road and it took them just nine minutes to go ahead. Sam Hatton pulled down Aaron Rhule and Tom Youngs stepped up to send Paul Agu the wrong way. After a Youngs effort crashed back off the crossbar, Pierre Joseph-Dubois equalised for the Wings, just before the break. Two goals in three second half minutes secured the win for the Millers as Ryan Fowler played a low defence splitting square ball to find Youngs and he smashed home gleefully. Then Tom Fitzgerald won a tackle in midfield before firing a shot from 30 plus yards that Age could only watch into the corner of the net.

Charlie Vines retuned to the club where his senior career started 15 years ago and fired a second half trick in an enthralling game which saw Cray comeback from 4-1 down to see off a youthful Welling side and progress into the quarter final of the London Senior cup. No one at Park View could have predicted such a magnificent fightback when Daniel Okam extended the Wings first half lead early in the second period, but half time substitute Laurent Hamici and Vines demonstrated why they have played at a higher level by terrorising the inexperienced Welling defence.
Wings manager Jamie Day, was present to watch but Matt Horne and the under 21’s management team were in charge of a team predominantly made up of their players. On the other hand, Steve Chapman’s Cray team boasted a combination of experienced non league footballers and exciting young talent and together the two teams produced an entertaining spectacle.
It took just 4 minutes for the visitors to go ahead when top scorer Lew Wood headed home a pin point cross by the exciting Harrison Carnegie. The lead didn’t last long as Josh Patrick hit a Gareth Bale-like spectacular equaliser from 30 yards and then almost added a second but saw his shot from Alex McKenzie’s cross came back off the post.
Josh Ekrim put Welling ahead courtesy of a penalty when the lively Daniel Oka was fouled by Steve Springett. Ekrim gave the Millers keeper Bobby Sturgeon no chance as he calmly slotted the ball home from 12 yards. The Millers cam storming back and almost levelled a couple of times with Springett’s header being cleared off the line and Joe Matthews header was disallowed following a push by Vines. The Wings managed to extend their lead when Sturgeon failed to hold McKenzie’s shot and Oka was on hand to tap home at the far post. Wings led 3-1 at half time.
Chapman threw on Hamici for Lew Wood at the break and his first contribution of the evening was to force a great save from Wings keeper Joel Hannington, who tipped his 30 yard thunderbolt over the bar. Minutes later the game appeared over when Eskin scrambled home Welling’s fourth and his second of the night.
The visitors heads remained high though and when Springett atoned for giving away the penalty by heading home Michael McKenna’s near post corner, with still half an hour to go the crowd sensed that a comeback might be on the cards. Adam Gross hit the woodwork before some good work by Alan Matthews and Hamici provided Vines with an opportunity to reduce the arrears. The former Cray Wanderers and Tooting & Mitcham striker coolly took the chance by firing home with a low right footed drive. Vines then levelled the scores before amazingly putting the Millers in front by completing his hat rick.
Neither team could manage to increase the scoring in the final ten minutes and Cray now face Vines’’ old club Tooting & Mitcham in the next round.
