CRAY WANDERERS  2-2  BEDFORD TOWN
(after extra time – Cray Wanderers win 4-3 on penalties)
The Emirates FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round Replay
Tuesday 20 October 2026
Stephen McCartney reports from Flamingo Park

CRAY WANDERERS chairman Gary Hillman was reduced to tears of happiness after watching his heroic side reach the Holy Grail of The FA Cup First Round for the very first time after witnessing the club’s Greatest Ever Match in its proud 166-year history.

There was a sense of injustice for those that attended the goal-less draw at The Eyrie on Saturday when referee Zachary Cunningham controversially disallowed a perfect goal from Ade Yusuff.  Bedford Town goalkeeper Laurie Walker smashed a volley (in open play) against the striker’s back (as he was walking away from goal and outside the penalty area) and the ball looped over the keeper and rolled into the empty goal.

It will go down as the most shocking refereeing decision in all of my 37-years supporting non-league football!

This was only the fourth time that The Wands had reached the Fourth Qualifying Round, having lost 2-0 at Mark Stimson’s then Conference leaders Grays Athletic in 2005, before losing 3-2 at Canvey Island in 2020 and a 1-0 home defeat here to Jay Saunders’ Tonbridge Angels in 2024.

Cray Wanderers manager Tim O’Shea took plenty of pride getting the club’s name in Monday’s First Round Draw, with League One side Stockport County awaiting the winners of this epic Replay on the weekend of 7 November and O'Shea's heroes delivered in Cray Wanderers' 134th FA Cup tie.

Cray Wanderers drew first blood, through a drilled finish from winger Olajuwon Ogunwamide, scoring his fifth goal of the season.

Tonight’s referee, Tom Ellsmore, awarded Bedford Town a soft penalty on the stroke of half-time, which was tucked home by former Ebbsfleet United attacker, George Moncur, the 33-year-old scoring his eighth-goal of the season.

Neither side could find the breakthrough in normal time and Cray Wanderers took the lead with Ade Yusuf’s emphatic penalty at the end of the first period of extra time, to score his 11^th goal of the season.

Harry Smart’s side, however, grabbed an equaliser through substitute striker Reece Evans’ ruthless finish, before Yusuff had the game’s third penalty saved by Walker.

Cray Wanderers’ substitute striker, Jakob Lowe, 17, who was only on the pitch for 131 seconds stepped up and emphatically sent Cray Wanderers through to unchartered territory, holding his nerve with the tenth penalty of the shoot-out, as the magical Wands claimed a 4-3 win on penalties, sparking a pitch invasion.

Mr Hillman was reduced to tears and wiped them away at the start of his post-match interview after joining in the ‘manic’ dressing room post-match celebrations.

“I just can’t speak. It’s like….sorry, I’m starting to cry.  First Round has always been the Holy Grail.  Thirty-two years as chairman and fully deserved over the two games.

“I never thought we’d get through to the First Round and playing Stockport County at home, at our new ground, 2,500 capacity. It’s unbelievable! I was car park attendant tonight – I think I may have a day off doing (that role against Stockport)!

“It’s unbelievable! To put the status of the club to that level and on the pedestal worldwide. I’ve always said the First Round is the Holy Grail like and I’ve always said 32 years as chairman, we’ve never had no luck in The FA Cup. We’ve had sh*t luck, sorry about the swearing, but I think we deserved to go through.”

When suggested that this was Cray Wanderers' Greatest Ever Game, Mr Hillman replied, “I think yes.  I think it might be hard to sort of put an argument against it.

“I think what really makes it, we’re in our new ground. We was groundsharing at Bromley and it will still be a massive moment to be in our new ground after two years and get into the First Round of The FA Cup and get a home game against Stockport County, who is obviously a massive team and it’s going to be a massive event to come here.  Personally, I think it should be on TV and whether it is or not is another subject but massive game, massive day and a massive occasion, they’re top of League One!”

Former managers Ian Jenkins and Neil Smith and many former players, including Leigh Bremner, Richard Dimmock, Jamie Kempster and Mark Tompkins witnessed this special night.

“I walked into the changing room and you’re congratulating the first person and say ‘he’s a hero’ and the next person, ‘what a player, hero, what a player’ and give Tosh his due, there’s not a wrong ‘un out there.

“Jenko was here tonight, which is amazing, Kempo, Leigh Bremner and Tommo – those great characters have been there and Cray’s always been about team spirits and you’ve got to have your superstar players and you’ve got to have your die hard players.

“We stood up against it and we’ve come out and won and it’s unbelievable. We’re through to the First Round and I’m a happy man.

“I’m going to Turkey tomorrow to see Crystal Palace (play their Europa League tie at Besiktas)  but obviously we’ve got to sort out all the behind the scenes for the Stockport game, which is a great problem to have.

“I’ve never thought I’d ever say that – we’ve got to sort Stockport at home!

“The support tonight was unbelievable! You could sense it. You could sense that support behind the goal. It made a lot of difference and the great thing is from my point of view, they’re all 90 per cent youngsters, which is good, it’s the future.

“I’ve always been worried, if I get run over by a bus will the club survive? I don’t want to get run over by a bus tonight but I know the club will survive, so I’m a happy man, a really happy man.”

When asked about the finances involved in hosting Stockport County next month, Mr Hillman admitted nights like this is why we are involved in football.

“I know there’s money involved but at the end of the day, you can’t beat these moments! Whether it’s one penny, twenty grand, 40 grand or whatever, it’s all about these moments and you can’t buy these moments, you really can’t buy these moments.

“I was thinking (for Lowe’s match winning penalty), it weren’t the money, just put it in the net and we fully deserved it because I would’ve been devastated if we lost that tonight. I don’t know what I would’ve done. I’d be absolutely devastated because we fully deserved it over the two legs.”

Manager Tim O’Shea also reflected on Cray Wanderers' special night.

“WOW! It’s an incredible evening. The boys are absolutely running on empty, gave it their all. I’m so pleased for them and everybody involved at the club.

“I think over the course of the two games, we gave a good account of ourselves.  That’s how tight it was. It went down to penalties. I think either side could be celebrating now but that’s something else. That piece of history. I’ve said to the boys, no one can take that away from you, the whole squad I’m talking about. Even the ones that didn’t even make the bench, who are apart of that squad. It is one hell of an achievement.”

Cray Wanderers changed formation to four-at-the-back with recalled Tobi Tinibu slotting in at right-back while his team-mates were attacking and keeping tabs on Bedford’s main threat at the weekend, winger, Joshua Castiglione, when defending.

Tinibu won the contest as the Bedford skipper was hooked in the 86^th minute and Tinibu would have scooped the man-of-the-match award but on occasions like this then it can be shared by all 15 players for playing their part in an upset.

“We changed our shape. We changed our shape to a four-at-the-back tonight, like we did against Maidstone, played 3-5-2 in the first game and then changed but Tobi done well,” said O’Shea.

“Tobi’s a whole-hearted player. He will give you everything and he done alright on Castiglione, a good player. Him, George Moncur, their movement and they’re know-how on a football pitch is magnificent. Tobi played his part tonight, like most of them did.”

Bedford Town started the game on the front foot and played at a much higher intensity than they did at home.

They were to be denied a goal with three minutes and 43 seconds on the clock.

Central midfielder David Hicks rolled the ball out to high right-back Tarik Gidaree, who cut the ball back for Moncur, who cracked a right-footed first-time drive towards the far corner from 18-yards, which was tipped around the post by goalkeeper Jasper Briggs, diving to his right.

“Both their wingers we’re sort of rolling inside and finding pockets and it was hard for our midfield three to sort of navigate. I think they boxed it up at times, had another four in there, two pivots and then two rolling in wingers making up 10s. It did cause us a few problems, I must admit,” added O’Shea.

Moncur floated in the away side’s second of six corners, in from the left and centre-half Alfie Thornett guided his downward header towards the far corner, which was blocked, as the visitors’ knocked on the door.

Cray Wanderers’ first corner was taken from the left by attacking midfielder Alex Hernandez, who played it short to Frankie Raymond, who played it back to Hernandez, whose right-footed angled drive was comfortably gathered by Walker at his near-post (15:19).

Cray Wanderers grabbed the lead with 16 minutes and 39 seconds on the clock and full marks must go to Tinibu for winning a right-wing corner.

Ogunwamide played it short to Raymond, who played it back to Ogunwamide and the winger cut into the penalty area from the right and emphatically drilled his left-footed angled drive across the keeper into the far corner from 12-yards.

“That goes down to the coach Stimmo (Mark Stimson). He works on a lot. He’s constantly looking at tinker with things and that’s full credit to Stimmo because when Ola’s given space and time he can do that sort of thing. It’s no surprise. He’s done it in the last four or five games. Ola’s been doing that quite regular,” said O’Shea.

With Bedford Town pushing left-back Franklin up high and a threat within the channel, Smart’s men went close just on the half-hour mark.

Joe Payne (who played as left-back in the first half and played beside Thornett in the heart of defence) travelled and played the ball out to Franklin, who cut inside and arrowed his right-footed angled drive across the keeper and only just past the far post.

Yusuff laid the ball off from the left into the centre and Hernandez unleashed a right-footed drive which sailed over the Bedford crossbar from 30-yards within a couple of minutes.

Joe Payne was adjudged to have been fouled by Ogunwamide as he cut towards the edge of the Cray Wanderers penalty area.

Briggs lined up a three-man wall along the 18-yard line and dived to his right and punched Joe Payne’s resulting left-footed free-kick around the post (46:42).

Beford Town were awarded a soft penalty (47:10) by referee Tom Ellsmore as Castiglione’s left-wing corner was floated in and Sammie McLeod was harshly penalised for holding back Thornett inside the penalty area.

Moncur stepped up and emphatically stroked his right-footed penalty into the left-corner, sending Briggs the wrong way, to give Bedford Town a lifeline with 48 minutes and 4 seconds on the clock.

“Again, I just thought the officials were keen to give the opposition a bit tonight. There was a lot of decisions that certainly weren’t in our favour,” admitted O’Shea.

“You know, one in particular when Frankie Morgan clipped the ball down the line, beyond the sliding player and he’s jumped in the air. Frankie’s said ‘he’s still made contact with me,’ yet our player gets booked, so quite amazing really but that kind of summed the evening up with the officials.”

Cray Wanderers centre-half Robert Strachan pinged a long diagonal out of defence and the threatening Ogunwamide cut in from the right into the middle before dragging his left-footed shot across the keeper, who watched the ball roll past the foot of the post.

The referee was booed by the disgruntled Flamingo Park faithful as soon as he blew his half-time whistle and O’Shea had to rally his troops during the half-time interval after another dodgy decision from the referee.

“I said, ‘look guys, very harsh penalty because I think JJ (Briggs) felt he was impeded as well, he was being held back,” said O’Shea.

“But it was a case of ‘look, if someone would’ve said to us, it’s one all, it’s half-time with 45 minutes to go, you’ve given a good account of yourselves first half. Let’s just go again and let’s give it another good go second half.”

Bedford restarted the game and Moncur tried his luck from the centre-spot, his left-footed drive sailing just over, as he attempted to float the ball into the top right-hand corner after only five seconds.

The ineffective Manny Duku held the ball up before waiting for Moncur to arrive and the Bedford attacker hit a left-footed angled drive screaming wide.

Bedford Town almost scored following their fourth corner of the game with 8:15 on the clock.

Moncur cut the ball back from the right wing to Hicks, who cracked a rasping first-time drive towards goal from 18-yards, which keeper Briggs dealt with by beating away with his two-gloves.

“It was a good strong hand from JJ.  He’s been great since he’s arrived (on loan from Cambridge United) and I think he got a good strong hand to that and he needed to be. I think Hicks’ hit it with quite a bit of venom,” said O’Shea.

Both goalkeeper’s were then called into action in the space of 14 seconds.

Raymond played the ball down the line to release Ogunwamide, who played the ball into the box for Yusuff, whose first time shot was held by Walker, low to his right.

The ball was swiftly cleared to Moncur, who counter-attacked straight down the middle of the pitch and he laid the ball off to Castiglione, who’s deflected shot was blocked by Briggs’ legs.  Those two players were impressive over the two games.

O’Shea added: “I think it took a slight deflection as well didn’t it?  I think he saved it with his legs because I think the initial one he was going for and he managed to save it with his legs. Showed some good agility there didn’t he?

Cray Wanderers should have taken the lead with 12 minutes and 4 seconds on the clock, however.

Ogunwamide’s deck pass from in front of the dug-out, split open Joe Payne and put Yusuff through on goal and with the entire stadium expectant, the 32-year-old drilled his right-footed shot past the near post with only Walker to beat.

“But listen, Ade’s there, he’s in a good position. He gets in those positions…Just look at his tally this year already. How can we even start to criticise?

“It’s a tough one, probably had too much time to think about it, which can happen. I think if its instinctive it’s different but he’s probably got 20 yards to run onto and then fair play to the keeper, he stayed up well and gave Ade the chance.”

With just over 15 minutes remaining, Castiglione’s free-kick came in from the right and Hicks’ header went straight at Briggs, who comfortably caught it.

Replacing Raymond for Seidou Sanogu (36:36 in the second half) raised eyebrows but Sanogu impressed in the middle of the park.

O’Shea said: “He did. Listen there’s some talent in there. It’s a tough one to choose. There’s three shirts and there’s quite a few to choose from but the ones that are picked they know that they have to be on their game because otherwise there’s someone like Seidou who’s ready to step in and whenever he’s been called upon, he’s absolutely given a really good account of himself.”

Sanogu had his moment when the impressive Ogunwamide put in a cross, the ball sailed over Soul Kader in the middle and Lateef Adaja cut the ball back from within the left-channel to Sanogu, who dragged his right-footed drive past the left-hand post.

Cray Wanderers’ left-back Frankie Morgan, whose challenge on Saturday ensured pacey right-winger Eno Eto played no part tonight, was involved in a similar incident (45:28).

Morgan played the ball down the line and was on the receiving end of a wild challenge by Tarik Gidaree, who appeared to be wanting to take out revenge.  With the entire stadium expecting the Bedford player to be carded, referee Tom Ellsmore somehow booked the Cray man instead, which brought more booing for the shocked home faithful.

On the subject of poor decisions, the referee refused to issue Gallimore a second yellow card, despite a centre-circle challenge on Sanogu (3:06, extra time).

Neither side could find the breakthrough, so the game went into extra time.

“Oh, I don’t know to be honest with you Steve,  what is going through my mind,” added O’Shea, who revealed tonight’s game was not good for his heart.

“My chest is a little bit tight. I’m hoping I haven’t got to go for an ECG.”

Cray Wanderers’ substitute central midfielder Alfie Payne played a long ball over the top of Bedford’s left-back Franklin to put Yusuff through and the striker cut into the box and tried to beat the keeper at his near post with his right-foot from 12-yards, but Walker gathered at the second attempt (8:29)

Bedford Town produced a well-worked move to grab the lead, with 10 minutes and 47 seconds into extra time.

Moncur received the ball and cut in before playing the ball out to the threatening Franklin, who played a low ball in from within the left channel to the edge of the box where Moncur slipped the ball through a couple of defenders to put in Evans, who ruthlessly slotted his left-footed shot underneath Briggs to stun Flamingo Park.

O’Shea said: “I think when they scored they’re just, rightly so, they’re celebrating hard on their bench and they truly believed that was the winner and perhaps myself thought do you know what, is it going to be our night?

“But the fact those boys do not give up when they’re running on empty is a true testament to the character in there. I was just so pleased that we got a deserved equaliser.”

But Cray Wanderers showed brilliant character to restore parity, with 15 minutes and 16 seconds on the clock at the end of the first period.

McLeod’s sublime left-footed through ball split open Franklin and Thornett and put winger Adaja through on goal.

Goalkeeper Walker charged out of his goal and with the crowd urging the winger to ‘go down’ down he went. What’s the worst that could happen? A yellow card for simulation, a £12 fine or playing Stockport County in Round One?

The referee had no option and pointed to the spot (14:15) and up stepped Yusuff, who emphatically drilled his right-footed penalty into the top right-hand corner, as Walker guessed the same way. He was never going to stop it!

O'Shea said: “I think he took his time, the referee. He was thinking about it and as I say he was thinking long and hard about ‘shall I give it, shan’t I give it?’

“There was no one else in the stadium not expecting it not to be given but look at that effort from Lateef, that late on in the game. He’s worked his absolute socks off tonight and there he is making a decent ball from Sammie McLeod, a lovely weighted pass but the determination from Lateef was magnificent.”

Cray Wanderers were to be denied the winner by a brilliant save from Walker, five minutes and seven seconds into the second period.

McLeod was inside his own half and rolled the ball some 15-yards inside to the outstanding Ogunwamide, who travelled over the halfway line and burst towards the Bedford penalty area before drilling a left-footed shot towards goal.  Walker dived to his left and used his strong left hand to make a brilliant block, the ball looping up and agonisingly dropping over the crossbar.

O’Shea said: “WOW! Yes, he got down well and it was amazing how it just swirmmed underneath him and it still cleared the crossbar, so again you’re thinking is it going to be our night but it worked out in the end Steve, didn’t it?”

Bedford’s Evans pleaded his innocence after the referee awarded Cray Wanderers their second penalty of the night – after substitute striker Kader was fouled inside the box.

Yusuff stepped up and stroked his right-footed penalty towards the right corner, but the ball was at a decent height for Walker, who dived to his left and used to his glove to keep out the penalty (7:02), adding to the drama.

“I think it was destined for penalties all night Steve weren’t it?” said O’Shea.

“It just ebbed and flowed, ebbed and flowed all the way through. I don’t think anyone in the stadium was surprised that it would come down to the dreaded penalties.

“Listen, Ade’s got some true backbone because quite frankly having missed a penalty to win it in extra time, I think the fact that he goes up and puts himself up for the first penalty is true testament to his character and that takes some real guts to do that, I’m so pleased for him.”

Bedford swiftly counter-attacked through the heart of the pitch and Moncur fed substitute Finley Wilkinson, the winger curling his shot past the bottom far corner (7:25).

Kader and Ogunwamide linked up down the left and in came a low cross and Yusuff left-footed shot was tipped around the post by Walker, diving to his right to take it to a penalty shoot-out.

This was Cray Wanderers’ fourth FA Cup penalty shoot-out tonight – and they have won them all!

Bedford Town went first, with Wilkinson drilling his right-footed penalty just left of centre, sending Briggs the wrong way.

Yusuff stepped up again, drilling his right-footed penalty into the bottom left-hand corner, sending Walker the wrong way, as he dived to his left.

Louie Kudiabor (who replaced Castiglione in the 86^th minute) did those silly pathetic run-ups and paid the price for it as his right-footed penalty was saved, as Briggs dived to his right.

Alfie Payne got a lucky break, as his left-footed penalty towards the bottom left-hand corner, saw Walker dive the right way, get a glove to the ball but the ball tricked over the line.

Two left-footed penalty takers were next – and both missed.

Joe Payne saw his penalty saved by Briggs, who dived to his right to save his second in the shoot-out.

Ogunwamide’s silly run up resulted in him placing his penalty past the right-hand post.

Moncur made it 2-2 after seven penalties, drilling his right-footed kick into the bottom left-hand corner.

Cray Wanderers scored their third when Kader found the bottom left-hand corner with his right-boot.

Several of the Cray fans behind the goal turned on their mobile phone torches in an attempt to put of Evans, who sent the keeper the wrong way as his right-footed penalty nestled into the bottom left-hand corner to make it 3-3.

Now for the £100,000 penalty kick.  Cray Wanderers have scooped £20,625 in prize money for beating Lewes, Maidstone United, Chippenham Town and Bedford Town. There is £47,750 up for grabs for a First Round win, or £15,800 for a defeat and there could be a lot more for television coverage.

Teenager Lowe stepped up, the home fans held their breath. Lowe took it all in his stride, rifling his right-footed penalty into the top left-hand corner to spark bedlam.

“Penalties can go either way but when you’ve got a goalkeeper like Jasper in between the sticks, he even said before the penalties  started, Aflie (George) the goalkeeping coach went up to him and said ‘I don’t know what to tell you,’ and he said ‘don’t worry about it! I’m going to save three penalties!’,  He’s a very, very good goalkeeper, great agility and I’m pleased for him," said O'Shea.

“I’m just so pleased for a 17-year-old (Lowe). He done it against Cheshunt in The FA Trophy.  He put himself up as fifth. As soon as I asked ‘who wants to take the penalties?’ he said ‘I’ll take the fifth one,’ and it invariably came down to the fifth penalty and cool as you like, that’s a 17-year-old!

“He just seems to enjoy it (the pressure, responsibility), that’s youth for you isn’t it? He just takes one deep breath and you can see him and he’s got his mind set and I was pleased for him.

“He didn’t get as much time on the pitch as he’d probably like but he’s in there celebrating, having scored the winning penalty.

“They’re all exhausted, very exhausted. It was nice both Michael (Paye, vice-chairman) and Gary come in and joined in with the celebrations and congratulated the lads and that’s history.  You know, the lads to each and everyone of them, themselves up there and no one can take that away from them.

“I’m so proud, I am, I’m so proud. Having sort of been lucky enough and fortunate enough to play all my life as a professional footballer and then go into coaching and then come back into coaching and I’ve got to thank Smudger (Neil Smith) for that.

“He got my love back for it but as soon as he said he was coming in, he wanted me alongside him and when he got that move to Crawley, I was torn between a rock and a hard place whether I was going to take the baton on but the club sort of got under my skin and I’ve grown to love it – and to be a part of history.

“Yes, it’s probably one of my best achievements along with making my Spurs debut, playing internationally for Republic of Ireland, this is right up there!”

Stockport County rose to the summit of League One tonight following their 2-0 win at Doncaster Rovers.  Part-timers Cray Wanderers are eighteenth (bottom five) in the eighth-tier Isthmian League Premier Division (12 points from nine games), with games in hand.

“It’s a great draw, isn’t it? It’s a great draw.  We’ve had it tough. When we played Lewes back then they were sitting third in our own league and that was the highest level that can be entered into the cup (at that stage).

“Then we go and draw Maidstone, who were sitting top of their League (National League South) and that’s the highest it can go. We’ve beaten a good side in Chippenham in between and then we go and play a side in the League above again.

“And then who do we go and draw? We draw the hardest game that you could possibly draw but listen, Stockport, it’s a great club. It’s a great draw. It’s a day that we can just enjoy now. We’ve just got to enjoy it, look forward to it and if it’s on tele, magnificent, fantastic. People can come and see this club, this magnificent club and what’s happening around here and it puts it on the map.”

Cray Wanderers travel to Berkhamsted Town in The FA Trophy First Round on Saturday, before playing three away Isthmian League Premier Division games away to Stanway Rovers (27 October), Brentwood Town (31 October) and Dulwich Hamlet (7 November, although midweek games before big FA Cup ties are usually postponed by the Isthmian League.

Berkhamsted, meanwhile, are in 12^th place in the Southern League Premier Division South (five wins, one draw and six defeats) table tonight after their 3-1 defeat at Chichester City tonight.

Berkhamsted pulled off a FA Cup giant killing act on Saturday, winning 2-1 at Southend United at Roots Hall.

“Only knocked out Southend, that’s it, only knocked out Southend, so just another real tough game for the boys,” said O’Shea.

“I’ve given the boys Thursday off, they need to rest up, they need to recharge and it’s going to be a funny old game on Saturday but realistically it’s our FA Cup isn’t it? It’s our non-league FA Cup, which is probably more realistic. This is lovely, we’ve made memories but with regards to Saturday, we’ve just got to recharge. I don’t even want to think about Saturday if I’m brutally honest. We’re going to enjoy it long into the night.

“There were a few tears out there when we won the penalty shoot-out because a lot of effort that goes in behind the scenes and it’s dedicated to a lot of people.

“I would like to mention that our secretary’s wife Linda fell ill on Sunday and she’s hospitalised at the moment and Martin (Hodson) was unable to get here. That goes a long way to dedicate it to Martin and his wife and we all wish her a speedy recovery and a steady one.”

Part-timers Bedford Town beat King’s Lynn Town (2-1 at home) and Wingate & Finchley (3-1 away after a 2-2 draw) to reach this stage. They arrived at this cauldron of passion sitting in 12th place in the sixth-tier Enterprise National League North table with 16 points (five wins, one draw and five points) and played their part in this amazing night.

O’Shea’s side have beaten Lewes (1-0 at home after a 2-2 draw at The Dripping Pan), Maidstone United (2-0 away after a 1-1 draw) and Chippenham Town (3-0)  and must now be one of the PART-TIME BRAVEHEARTED NON-LEAGUE SIDES that will have a televised FA Cup First Round tie next month.  If you want drama and an upset then Flamingo Park is the place to be!
