Cray Wanderers moved up to sixth place in the Ryman South league table following a stylish and in the end comprehensive victory against a plucky and game Godalming Town side at Hayes Lane.  This stretched the Wands unbeaten league run to six matches and the biggest win of the season so far.

The match saw Danny Haynes claim his second hat-trick of the season taking his league goals tally to 16 and 21 in total.  He also extended his consecutive games scoring run to eleven matches. 

The Wands took the lead in the twelfth minute when Sol Taiwo sent a fine ball out to the left wing to Haynes who turned past a defender and squared the ball across to Karl Dent who placed an excellent finish past Oneal Garnes into the back of the net for his fifth goal of the season.

Cray went two up in the eighteenth minute when Jay Leader played the ball through to Haynes who was left free down the left who cut inside past a defender and drilled a shot past Garnes at his near post from five yards.

Godalming though kept on going throughout the game and pulled a goal back in the 21st minute when a cross from Louis Hutton out on the left found an unmarked Jack Mazzone who steered a header across Blue and into the net.

Another Cray goal was on the cards and duly arrived in the 30th minute with a fine individual goal by Brandon Scott who picked the ball up down the right, showed his customary pace to leave himself space to shoot from just inside the penalty area and place a fine strike into the net to make it 3-1 at half time.

Cray dominated the second half and in the 53rd minute scored a fourth when Dent flicked the ball through to Haynes down the left who controlled the ball first time, took the ball past Garnes and from a fairly tight angle crashed the ball into the net.

The Wands made it five and Haynes his third goal in the 76th minute when again the impressive work of Ben Mundele and Scott down the right saw the ball played across to Haynes who swept home an well placed strike showing a player in supreme form and high in confidence.

Cray now move up to sixth place in the league table and are in action again on Tuesday night when they travel to Herne Bay.
