Cray Prove no Pushovers

Redbridge hosted 2nd bottom side Cray Wanderers but slipped up falling to a 1-0 defeat.

They went into the game unbeaten in their previous three matches and would have expected to have made it four but the away side were worthy of their win and on this performance it's hard to see how they have been struggling this season.

Redbridge had the first opportunity when a Vinny Murphy free kick was well held by Colquhouen.

From then on Cray dominated the rest of the half with the lively Warren Whitely in particular looking dangerous on the left wing.

He had their best chances firstly cutting inside his marker and shooting which Mark Parker got down well at his right hand post to make the save.

Then with the goal at his mercy he fluffed his effort and the ball ended up flying over the stand.

The away side continued to put the home side on the back foot and should have scored when Chris Piper burst through only to see his effort thwarted by a strong hand by Parker.

He made up for his miss soon after as he grabbed himself a goal tapping in from close range after the ball had rebounded back off a post with Parker beaten.

All the home side could muster was a thumping drive by Adam Hunt which was always going wide.

Into the 2nd half and the home side improved as they went in search of an equaliser.

Hunt saw his effort tipped over and Cockman wasted a couple of late chances but it was a case of too little too late as Redbridge failed to really test the Cray goal.

With both sides making all their changes Cray held on through 5 added minutes of injury time to record the victory which unfortunately for them will unlikely be enough to see them stay up whilst Redbridge still need some more points on the board to secure their Ryman status for another season.
