AFC Croydon Athletic welcome Chessington & Hook Utd to their (temporary) home for this FA Carlsberg Vase 2nd Qualifying Round tie on Friday evening.

The match is being played at Colliers Wood United which is situated on the southbound A3 just south of the Robin Hood Roundabout. Parking is also available on the other side of the road and the ground can be access via the footbridge. For the exact location click here.

The Rams only defeat in the last six games came at the hands of Premier Division Frimley Green after extra time. On their travels they are on a run of five league wins which has taken them up to second in the table. They will certainly be full of confidence going into this tie.

Chessington & Hook United are currently sitting bottom of Division One having taken just 4 points from their first 5 games. But in Cups they have performed better with an excellent victory over Deal Town in the FA Cup and only last Tuesday they defeated Spelthorne Sports in the Premier Cup on penalties having drawn the game 1-1. In Cup competitions the league position counts for little.

Weather wise we should have a nice view of the sunset as the two teams prepare to line up against each other. Temperatures should stay around 16 or 17 degrees with a light southerly breeze bringing in some cloud as the evening goes on.

Don't forget, this game will go to extra time if the scores are level at 90 minutes. If they are still level then we will go to Chalky Lane for the replay on Tuesday evening.

2nd October
