BIG MATCH PREVIEW

CRAY VALLEY (PM) v CHICHESTER CITY
16 OCT 2021
PITCHING IN ISTHMIAN LEAGUE – SOUTH EAST DIVISION

By Richard J Green

Valley look to bounce back from the disappointment of last week’s penalty shoot-out defeat at AFC Sudbury against an inconsistent Chichester City side currently sitting in mid-table.
After starting the season with defeats at VCD Athletic and home to Faversham Town, City looked to be moving in the right direction with high scoring victories against lowly Whitehawk and Whitstable Town. Three games without a win however, finds Chi in twelfth place in addition to elimination from the FA Trophy against Great Wakering Rovers last weekend.
Chi rose to prominence with an FA Cup run in 2019 that saw them receive national TV exposure with a first round “bye” at the expense of Bury, before a Sunday lunchtime defeat at League Two Tranmere Rovers in the second round.
This followed a post-war history spent in the Sussex County League before being crowned champions of the renamed “Southern Combination” in 2018/19.
Now in his sixth season at the helm, former Moneyfields manager Miles Rutherford has seen the Club progress year on year and will be hoping to make an impact on the promotion pacesetters as the season continues.
City’s only previous visit to SE9 was early in the 2019/20 season when goals from Jimmy Wild and Gicu Iordace saw Chi top the early season table with a 2-0 victory.
Prior to that, the 2 sides met at Oaklands Park in the Checkatrade FA Vase in September 2013 – a Millers side manager by Steve Chapman winning the First Qualifying Round tie 5-3 after extra time (goals from Lew Wood 2, Jamie Wood, Michael McKenna, Tunde Aderonmu).
