Out of Bounds: Cray Wanderers, Carlos Alcaraz and the Gold Coast Suns

The Cray Wanderers win first-round bid to FA Cup in club history The Cray Wanderers, one of London’s oldest football clubs dating back to 1860, has qualified for the Football Association Challenge Cup for the first time in its 166-year history. On Oct. 20, the team made it to the fourth round of qualifiers, where the team ended its match against Bedford Town in a 0-0 tie. Three days later, the teams faced off again to determine who would make it to the first round of the FA Cup. The game went to extra time, where both teams scored, eventually forcing a penalty shootout. Wands goalkeeper JJ Briggs saved two goals in the shootout, leading to Bedford’s 4-3 defeat. The winning shot was made by forward Jakob Lowe, a recent addition to the Wands. Both fans and players recognize the significance of this win, as the club has failed to qualify for the cup since its establishment.
