Erith Town vs Cray Wanderers
FA Youth Cup Preliminary Round – Thursday 5th September – 7.30 pm
Cray Wanderers U18s are in action in the FA Youth Cup on Thursday as Roy Brooke’s side visit Erith Town. Kick off 7.30 pm.
The Wands and the Dockers are no strangers to each other with the U23s playing last Friday in the SCEFL Development League West. The first team will also play Erith Town in the London Senior Cup at the end of October.
The Wands last season had a great run in the FA Youth Cup winning all away ties beating Sevenoaks Town, Hollands & Blair and Corinthian to reach the 3rd Qualifying Round before losing at Rusthall.
A year on and with other U18s players perhaps making their FA Youth Cup debut this should be a great game under the lights. Please note if the game ends in a draw the match will be decided on penalties.
Admission: £5 adults £2 concessions
