Match Preview

Canvey Island are back at home on Tuesday evening, as they host Cray Wanderers in the Isthmian League Premier.

Our Opponents

The Wands have endured a tricky start to the season thus far, with just three wins from their opening 11 matches in the division - something that seems a world away from the tail end of last season, as they broke into the playoffs as the form side in the division.

They have faired better in the cups, narrowly beaten by Ramsgate in the FA Cup, though through to the next rounds of the FA Trophy and Kent Senior Cup respectively.
Their last fixture came on Saturday, as they took a point away at fellow strugglers Potters Bar Town in a 1-1 draw.

Despite their league position, manager Neil Smith knows he has the talent as this disposal to turn a corner, with experienced Isthmian names like Nyren Clunis and Ellis Brown, among others, with the knowledge of the league to get results.

Our last meeting came back in January this year the Moviestarr Stadium, with the two sides drawing 1-1 on a windy winter's afternoon. Canvey's goal that day came courtesy of an own goal.

The Gulls

Canvey meanwhile, were also in league action on Saturday, though had an afternoon to forget as a 2nd half capitulation saw them lose 6-2 away at in form Wingate & Finchley.
Goals from Mason Hall and Luke Deslandes weren't enough for the Gulls on a grey autumn afternoon, and they'll be looking to make amends on Tuesday evening to get back on track in the league.
