With three games left in the Bostik League Division One South season Cray Wanderers entertain South Park at Hayes Lane on Saturday knowing that a win will keep them up in third place and improve their chances of home advantage in any play off matches.
The Wands are on six game unbeaten run, which has lifted them back up the table at the vital time of the season, drawing their last two matches against local rivals Greenwich Borough (2-2) and VCD Athletic (0-0).
With Lewes already promoted and Carshalton set for the runners up spot, Cray will be looking for maximum points from their last three matches to ensure they go in to the post season playing at Hayes Lane.
South Park travel up from Reigate sitting mid table with 51 points from 38 played, cup runs and bad weather leaving them with a huge fixture back long to catch up with. Last Saturday The Park lost 3-1 at home to Horsham and they also play tonight at home to VCD Athletic.
When the two sides met in Surrey back in November, Tony Russell’s side won 1-0 with an early goal from Michael Freiter and Saturday’s match could well be a similarly close fought encounter.
The club submitted their planning application and letters of support for their new ground to the GLA this week as they look to make progress on and off the field.
