Just love the FA Cup

Wednesday 5 September 2018, Rusthall 2 Cray Wanderers 2 (Cray win 4-3 on penalties) - FA Cup, Preliminary Round, replay, Jockey Farm



OK, I loved the ground even if not keen on the last few miles of the drive along country roads. I could go on about the stands, the clubhouse the raised pitch, rural feel but even if it was a quirky ground it was the game itself that was the winner tonight.


Cray are from a higher division and dominated the first half but only got one goal and in the second half were made to pay for their misses when Rusthall equalised.


So the game went to extra time and two more goals before Cray won on penalties. The home fans were disappointed to lose but you could see and hear how proud they were of their team - you just have to love the FA Cup.
