The Crows face The Millers at the Badger.
It's seventh versus second for this SCEFL Premier Division fixture at the Badger Sports Ground (DGS Marine) stadium on New Year's Eve, kicking off at 3:00pm.
We know how well Cray Valley PM can defend of course as they carried out a real smash and grab raid on us back in late August when they won 1-0 at the Community Stadium, Bremner scoring the only goal, after the Crows gave away the ball rather cheaply in the midfield area.
Despite dominating possession and the chances the Crows could not find away through the Millers defence and the home side suffered their first league defeat of the season. Their second defeat followed soon after, a defeat also at home to AFC Croydon Athletic only six days later.
Since those defeats though the Crows have remained unbeaten in 27 games in all competitions and with an excellent record at the Badger Sports Ground, the Crows will be looking for another win which will see them finish 2016 at the top of the SCEFL Premier Division and avenge that defeat in August.
It won't be easy though as they are on a good run of form at home, winning their last six matches there however, in their last league game they suffered a 4-1 away defeat to AFC Croydon Athletic although two of their goals came in the last 7 minutes and there was even time for Cray Valley PM to have a penalty saved by the AFC Croydon goalkeeper.
It should be a cracking game to watch as both sides have something to play for and hopefully, being it's New Year's Eve, a large crowd will be in attendance.
For those going to the Badger Sports Ground it's in Middle Park Avenue, Eltham, South London and the post code is SE9 5HT. The facilities at the Badger are excellent with a good bar area and the usual tea/burger bar available inside the ground.
Here are some directions taken off their website: To get to Badgers by car, just follow these simple routes;
(From A20 Kent)
Sidcup bypass to ‘Big Yellow Storage’ roundabout. Take last exit (back on yourself), then 1st left onto Eltham Palace Rd. 1st left onto Middle Park avenue. Badgers Sports will be on your left.
(From A2 Kent)
To A205 exit, left onto Westhorne Avenue, to ‘Yorkshire Grey’ McDonalds roundabout. 2nd exit onto Middle Park Avenue. Badgers Sports will be on your right.
Mottingham Station is the closest main line train service to Badgers and is an approximate 30 minute walk along the 1.3 mile length of Middle Park Avenue.
Bus route 160 which runs from Sidcup and Catford Bridge railway stations stops right out side the main gates to the ground, ask for Eltham Green School stops, as the school is on the opposite side of the road.
We hope to see as many of you there as possible.
