Match action from Bognor Regis vs Cray Wanderers

After the freezing cold of Worthing on Tuesday night it was onto Bognor Regis on Wednesday, the second of a South Coast trilogy. Not often I make it two games in two nights, but an opportunity to make a record for myself.

Cray Wanderers were the visitors to Nyewood Lane for a second time this season and the fourth meeting overall for the two sides. Having already witnessed the early season league meeting at Hayes Lane which ended 2-2, the sides were drawn together in the FA Cup a few weeks later.

After a 2-2 draw again on the south coast, Bognor won the replay quite emphatically by a scoreline of 4-0, this evening game being the first time I had witnessed four games between the same two sides in one full season. Since those early days, the Wands have remained around the play-off places while for Bognor it hasn’t clicked into gear at all, but still time for a strong unbeaten run with plenty of games left.
