Tonbridge Angels’ Under-21 side’s hopes of promotion back to the Suburban League Premier Division from which they were unjustly removed last season received a setback, probably terminal, in this disappointing evening at Cray Valley.
Whilst enjoying more than their share of possession, they were consistently caught on the break by a team with a bit of pace and a physical centre forward.
Tonbridge certainly started the better of the two teams with the Cray goalkeeper, Tom Kemp, making a good save to deny Connor Watson after 11 minutes and another, low to his right, from Luciano Osbourne. When Osbourne was brought down in the box after 20 minutes there were strong claims for a penalty but these were waved away.
After dominating the first half hour, an awful miscommunication between the Angels’ keeper, Ryan Thompson and Emanuele Offin-Ankamah saw the ball misdirected past the goalkeeper for Cray’s centre forward, Steve Karari to run the ball into the net.
Tonbridge continued to dominate possession with Steve Panayi stretching Kemp and Jorge Diez failing to hit the target on a couple of occasions.
Kemp made a brilliant save to thwart Diez in the opening minutes of the second half and had that chance been converted the outcome might well have been different but after 66 minutes a free kick saw the Cray central defender Harry Taylor convert from close range.
Still Tonbridge continued to create and waste chances with substitute Billy Jacobs firing wide after being set up by Osbourne and following a wonderful move and pass from Diez saw another chance go begging.
Cray wrapped the game up, with a scoreline that was flattering, when Thompson advanced from his box to a ball over the top that he was never going to reach allowing George Palmer to complete the Angels’ misery.

Tonbridge Angels Under-21s had a chastening opening period from which they were unable to recover in their first Suburban League game of the season at Cray Valley.
The team that took to the field at the start of the game has evolved over pre-season with many changes in personnel and is still very much in the process of gelling.
They played a diamond formation in the first half, mirroring that of the first team, but found themselves overrun in midfield and being continually exposed down the flanks by a Cray Valley side that was able to pass the ball freely through the Angels midfield.
A change in formation in the second half, stringing five across the middle, brought greater stability and an improved performance.
Two early goals set the Angels onto the back foot. After 12 minutes a corner from the left was met by a header from Cem Tumkaya who rose almost unchallenged to plant his header past Ibrahim Attiah in the Tonbridge goal.
Two minutes later it was 2-0 when Chandler Kasai fed Kieran Mulkerinns to fire across the face of goal and into the bottom corner.
Attiah saved well from Mulkerinns to save the situation from quickly getting worse.
Tonbridge created their only chance of the first half when Samuel Oyeriran drove a shot to the near post but the Cray goalkeeper, Chris Cowden, got down well to save.
Hopes were dashed of getting to half-time with just a two goal deficit when a free kick from Connor Dobson was launched into the box and with Attiah dithering, the ball skimmed off the head of Callum Adonis-Taylor into his own net.
With the change of shape, the Angels at least became competitive and had the first opportunity of the second half with Stevie Panayi firing over the bar.
But, after 54 minutes, the hosts went 4-0 up when a 20 yard free kick from Dylan Skinner was accurately placed past the despairing dive of Attiah.
A through ball from Oyeriran found Karlan Henry but a heavy touched denied him and Cowden needed to be alert to save at the feet of David Solomon as Tonbridge searched for a consolation.
Tonbridge need to take heart from their second half performance as they take on Metropolitan Police Reserves at Longmead next Saturday, 26th August.
