Eagles landing at Cray

Crystal Palace are heading for the Ryman League's Hayes Lane to take on Cray Wanderers in pre-season.

The Ryman Premier's Wands announced the headline fixture on Thursday with the Premier League-bound Eagles due to land at Cray for the second successive season on Wednesday 31 July.

Palace won 1-0 last summer with a strike from Kwesi Appiah in front of a big crowd and Wands manager Ian Jenkins is facing another stern test less than two weeks before the new season kicks off.

Cray Chairman Gary Hillman is looking forward to a financial boost for the club's budget but will have spilt loylties as he's also a director at Selhurst Park.
