Match Preview

Harlow Town make the trip to Bromley FC to face Cray Wanderers in a Ryman League Division One North match.

Cray, who claim the title of the second oldest football club in the world, have been hotly tipped to be challenging for the Division One North title this season. They have been without a ground of their own for over 40 years, but with a new stadium in the pipeline they will be keep to progress and gain promotion up the football pyramid.

Cray have had a dramatic start to the season. On the opening day against fellow title hopefuls AFC Hornchurch, they were a goal up going into the final ten minutes before two late goals inflicted a 1-2 loss. Then their fortunes were reversed in their second game at home to Tilbury. They were down by two goals to one in the 80th minute, before scoring two to give them a 3-2 win. This was despite playing most of the second half with only 10 men, Ben Payne having received a red card.

The Hawks have gained four points from the opening two games. A good opening day win against local rivals Cheshunt was followed by a battling draw away to Wroxham during the week.

It’s still very early days, but after the opening two games, Harlow are placed in 5th in the table with Cray in 10th, on four and three points respectively.
