Cray Wanderers take on league leaders Needham Market at Hayes Lane on Saturday afternoon in the Ryman League Division One North looking to launch an unlikely survival bid as we head into Spring.
The Wands, who still have eleven games to play, sit second from bottom 12 points from safety and have yet to string together a good run of form under new manager Tommy Warrilow.
Last Saturday Cray picked up a creditable point at Cheshunt, but on Tuesday they lost 2-1 at Wroxham despite leading the game for over an hour, experienced midfielder Chris Piper scoring in both games.
Market travel down from East Anglia to The London Borough of Bromley sitting 5 points clear at the top on a run of five consecutive wins and will undoubtedly give The Wands a very stern test in a game both sides will be desperate to win for differing reasons.
