Still getting over the first encounter, KEVIN NOLAN watched the Cray Valley replay, which took place next to a roundabout where he used to attend Eltham Amateur Boxing Club’s outstanding boxing/dinner shows. It now houses a McDonald’s drive-through – and also a drive-thru. Since their magnificent performance against Charlton on Bonfire Night, Cray Valley PM […]
