Cray Wanderers Women return to league action this afternoon after a short break with a trip to the Gallagher Stadium to face Maidstone United Women in the SCEWFL Premier. Kick off 3.15 pm
The Wands last game was the defeat to Comets in the FA Cup on 22nd September but in the league Cray in 4th place are defending an unbeaten league record after two matches with wins against Tonbridge Angels and Tunbridge Wells Foresters scoring ten goals in the process. Katie Jackson is the leading scorer with 12 goals this season and against Foresters, Hrystyna Kulishko, Olivia Gregory and Annemarie Blanche were also on target.
Maidstone United are currently 2nd in the table with 7 points and have played two more matches than the Wands. After starting the season with a home defeat to Sevenoaks Town and a draw at London Road the Stones have won at Woodcombe Sports (4-1) and Tunbridge Wells Foresters (2-0) so it will be a good test for Cray today.
After today, the Wands are at home to Sutton United in the Isthmian League Cup on Wednesday 9th October, 7.45 pm and the next home league game will be on Sunday 13th October vs Sevenoaks Town, 4.30 pm
