Tooting and Mitcham United 1 Cray Wanderers 0 – 13 October 2026 Report

Match Report

Tooting & Mitcham United progressed to the third round of the London Senior Cup following a hard-fought 1-0 victory over a youthful Cray Wanderers side—a result that was far more comfortable than the narrow scoreline might suggest.

The Terrors were on top throughout, and the decisive breakthrough arrived early in the ninth minute. A powerful long-range strike from Jordy Ndozid was parried by Cray goalkeeper Kian Eyers, but only as far as Tim Obisanya, who Reacted quickest to knock home the rebound from close range. Tooting pushed to double their advantage before the break, with Conor Melody and William Efambe both going close to increasing the lead.

The dominance continued into the second half, with the home side unluckily denied a second goal. Max Oldham went close, and Melody saw an effort strike the woodwork after his corner-kick clipped the post. At the other end, Tooting goalkeeper Toby McKimm enjoyed a relatively quiet evening, dealing with an occasional cross and shot with complete ease.

In an unusual statistical quirk for the match, both starting goalkeepers—McKimm and Eyers—wore the captain’s armband for their respective teams.

With their place in the next round secured, Tooting & Mitcham now await the winners of the second-round tie between Fisher and AFC Greenwich Borough. That fixture is not scheduled to be played until mid-November, leaving the Terrors to briefly park their cup ambitions and refocus on the league campaign.
