Match Day Experience
Bank holiday Monday saw the clash between Cray Wanderers and Welling United with a bumper crowd at Flamingo Park as Cray Wanderers very generously invited season ticket holders of Ebbsfleet United to the game for free due to the on going situation at Ebbsfleet United. The bumper crowd and bank holiday saw vibes high in the sun with long queues at the bar and grill as the match going crowd looked to make the most of the weather.
Match Report
Welling United took the lead in this game as a dangerous Sam Smith free kick was nodded back across goal by Lekan Majoyegbe with Ade Azeez was most alert in the middle of the box as he beat both centre half and keeper to the ball and his outstretched toe knocked the ball past the keeper. This was about as good as it got for the Wings as only moments later the Wands were level when a dangerous corner was whipped in by Hernandez and at the back post Strachan nodded past Foley in the Wings goal on the stoke of half time.
Both teams must have had rousing speeches at half time as both teams came out of the second half fired up causing pretty feisty affair in the second half. The ref choose to get his cards out early to try and get control of the game which lead to Lekan getting booked for a soft foul on the half way line, then moments later picking up a second yellow card when he jumped into Wands keeper Molynuex which he took great exception to and started a brawl in the penalty area.
Cleary amped up it was moments later when Molynuex would see himself dismissed and he claimed a cross into the box looked to get a quick counter started but juggled the ball and handled outside the box which sent him for an early shower.
Ten against ten was how we was and it could have gone either way but three quick fire goals from the Wands against a tiring Wing side saw the game fall out of sight for the Wings. The first for Ade Yusuff from the penalty spot after Wings keeper Foley had bought down a Cray attacker in the area. Moments later Ola Ogunwamide provided a moment of magic in the game as he volleyed home from outside the box as Wings only managed to half clear a corner and Ogunwamide connected ever so sweetly. Hernandez then found himself on the scoresheet as Cray Wanderers worked the ball well down there right hand side before squaring the ball to Hernandez who finished well.
FA Cup action up for both of these teams next as the Wings will be looking to bounce back against Faversham and Cray Wanderers will look to build momentum as they take on Lewes.
