Highlights: Cray Valley PM 2 Carshalton Athletic 1

By Ian Townsend

The Millers knocked the Robins out of the Cup last week

After a three-three draw in their first meeting, Pitching In Isthmian South East side Cray Valley PM and Premier Division Carshalton Athletic met to find out who would host Enfield Town in the FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round. The answer was the Millers, manager Steve McKimm masterminding the defeat of the Robins side he managed last year- a late goal giving Athletic no time to respond.
It was Carshalton- who let a three-one lead slip in the previous match- who broke the deadlock five minutes before half time, Olu Babajide with the opener. The visitors held that lead until just before the hour, when Freddie Parker delivered his eighth goal of the season, and with just a minute to go and extra time looking likely Cem Tumkaya stepped up to be the match winner. It’s only three years since the Millers were last in the First Round of the competition, and they’ll be confident of giving the Towners a bloody nose and returning to such lofty heights once more.

Steve McKimm is pictured with his squad as he received the Vita Risk Solutions Manager of the Month Award for August.
