A goal two minutes into stoppage time helped Cray grab a point from the long trip to Dereham Town.  Cray led for most of the game before the home side were reduced to ten men who then levelled and took the lead in the last minute.  

Cray went in front in the eleventh minute with an excellent piece of finishing from Omone Sodje who pounced on a bad defensive header to score with an acrobatic bicycle kick.  

The Wands were the better side following that and Dereham were indebted to their keeper, Will Viner who made three good saves from Lewis Tozer, Karl Dent and Sodje to keep the score at one nil.  

Dereham were reduced to ten men before the hour when Aaron Kay was sent off but this inspired the home side who levelled in the 72nd minute when Dan Morphew turned the ball home from close range.

The Norfolk side went in front in the 90th minute when Luke Tuttle converted a penalty after he was fouled in the area.

However, this Cray side never know when they are beaten and two minutes into stoppage time, Sodje scored his second with a glancing header from James Duckworth’s cross.  The point keeps Cray six points clear at the top of the Isthmian League North.
