We left home at about 12:45 and went to Streatham Common and got the train to Peckham Rye before getting the train to Kidbrooke and walked to the ground which took about 20 mins. The game itself was a great one and both sides had to win to get into the play offs as this was the last day of the season. Sheppey took the lead after about 30 mins and Cray Valley came out in the second half and had numerous chances to equalise and just when it looked like the game would faze out into a 0-1 win for Sheppey, Cray scored with about 5 mins plus injury time remaining and sent the game crazy with both sides now needing to score. Cray took the lead on the 90th minute and went crazy as they were taking the play off spot on offer away from Sheppey. 7 mins of added time went up and Sheppey managed to equalise in the 93rd, which meant that both sides were missing out. Cray had a couple of chances to win it again but it finished 2-2 and both sides missed out. Walked back to Kidbrooke and got the train to London Bridge. Had to get the tube to Tooting Broadway as there were trespasses on the line at Tulse Hill. Got back home at 19:00.
