Canvey Island look to build on their performance against Dover last weekend when they travel to Cray Wanderers new stadium at Flamingo Park in the Isthmian League Premier Division.

Our Opponents
The Wands are currently sitting in 9th place in the League 9 points off the play offs but 18 points clear of the relegation places. This season Cray Wanderers are playing in their new stadium after there ground share with Bromley. Always good to visit somewhere new.
The Wands come into this fixture off a narrow 2-1 defeat away at Chichester City but prior to this they had a run of 3 wins and a draw.
In the home fixture at the Steves Taxis Stadium the Gulls ran out 2-0 winners with both gulls scored by Bradley Sach.

The Gulls
Canvey Island fought out a 0-0 draw at home to Dover last time out with a much stronger defensive display whilst at the other end we are struggling to create chances and have not scored in our last 4 games.
Again the Yellow Army were strongly behind the team on Saturday lets keep it going at Cray.
Have a safe Journey to Flamingo Park.

Come on you Gulls
