Match Preview

Pre-Season Friendly - Cray Valley (PM) v Cray Wanderers
Tuesday 18th July Kick Off 19.45pm
The Artic Stadium, Badger Sports, Middle Park Avenue, Eltham SE9 5HP

The two Cray's meet in what should be a challenging step up for Valley as they welcome Isthmian premier side Wanderers to the Artic Stadium. Neil Smith has added some shrewd signings during the summer as they look to build on their success last season when finishing 5th to reach the play off's only to lose to Hornchurch on penalties after a 3-3 draw in the semi final. Among those summer signings are defender Cameron Black who has joined on a season long loan from Dorking Wanderers, George Porter an experienced striker / winger signs from Dulwich Hamlet and full back Jamie Mascoll has returned to the Wands from Hornchurch.

Steve McKimm will be looking for a reaction from his players after their pre season faltered on Saturday losing 2-0 at home to Stansfeld following away wins at Glebe and Punjab United. Cray Wanderers beat Welling United 2-1 in their opening pre season game and on Saturday by the same scoreline came out on top at Beckenham Town.

Admission will be £5 with free admission for those U18.
