BIG MATCH PREVIEW
CRAY VALLEY (PM) v LITTLEHAMPTON TOWN
12th NOV 2022 – KICK OFF 3pm
PITCHING IN ISTHMIAN LEAGUE – SOUTH EAST DIVISION
By Richard J Green
Making their first visit to the Artic Stadium on Saturday is last season’s Southern Combination League champions and beaten FA Vase finalists Littlehampton Town.
The Marigolds are playing at Step 4 for the first time in their 126 year history and are making a good fist of it – currently sitting in eleventh position with 15 points from their 11 matches.
Player manager George Gaskin, accompanied by Mitchell Hand, led the Club to the finest season in their history last season as they achieved a league and Cup “double”, in addition to a trip to Wembley Stadium where they were comfortably beaten 3-0 by Newport Pagnell Town.
This season’s record of four wins on the road from their seven matches is matched only by leaders Ramsgate, and Ashford United, - their last two trips resulting in single goal wins at Sittingbourne and East Grinstead Town, – while a Warren Mfula hat-trick for Sheppey United inflicted the third defeat at their St Floras Road home last Saturday (2-3).
Eighth placed Valley will be looking to continue a run of three games unbeaten - coming off the back of wins against Haywards Heath Town (5-0) and Three Bridges (3-2) in our last two home games – and moving closer to the Play Off places.
