The Wands bounced back from the defeat against Hythe on Wednesday night with victory at bottom side Godalming Town.  A goal seven minutes before half time by Danny Haynes broke the deadlock and the Wands had to play forty plus minutes of the second half with ten men following the sending off of Ade Osifuwa for two bookable offences. 

Cray were much the better side in the first half and were unlucky not to score when Jaysiva Sivapathasundaram down the left put over a very good cross which was met by the head of Lea Dawson who saw his header bring out a sharp save from Oneal Garnes in goal.

Cray created another good opening when Karl Dent who in Haynes inside the area who controlled the ball on his chest and his dinked effort on goal was blocked well by Garnes.       

Brandon Scott, Jay Leader and Dawson all came close to scoring before Cray took the lead in the 38th minute.  Scott managed to work a bit of space close from the left touchline and put over a pinpoint cross to the back post which found Haynes who simply guided a header over the outstretched hand of the keeper and into the net.   

Godalming seemed more livelier after the break and Matt Anton directed a header off goal just after the start of the half.  Five minutes after the break, the Wands were reduced to ten men following the dismissal of Osifuwa for a second bookable offence and had to dig deep to hold on to the lead.

The home side created half chances but had to wait until the 85th minute to test keeper Nick Blue when Nick Hutchings shot from just outside the area and then in the closing minutes Luke Perkins shot was on target but Cray had mustered enough resolve to win the game and move up to eighth in the Isthmian League South table.  

Cray are on their travels again on Tuesday when then visit Horsham with a 7.45 ko.
