Cray Valley's Michael Ademiluyi isn't happy, thinks he should have a foul for a hefty challenge by Tayo Edun out wide but the referee's assistant isn't having it.

That is the threat they carry - that real raw pace.

I love the decision making from Kyrell Lisbie there.

He gets his head up but just strikes his standing foot.

Kyrell Lisbie saw the headlines.

The son of ex-Charlton hero Kevin strides down the left, just like he did at The Valley to set up Cray's goal that day.

But this has a far less glamorous ending as an embarrassing miskick with his wrong foot goes out for a goal-kick.

Charlton's Conor McGrandles slips as he attempts to progress down the right.

Goal kick to the hosts who will be desperate to see out the opening exchanges with no damage.

The winner of tonight's tie will be rewarded with a trip to League Two side Gillingham in round two.

Charlton are on the front foot early doors but Cray Valley earn a couple of throw-ins in their own half to quell any danger.

Buzzing for this one - proper cup-tie!

Addicks skipper George Dobson gives some instructions in the pre-match huddle - probably 'take this seriously, lads'.

And we're away at the Artic Stadium.

How many times do you think a five-division gap has been bridged in the FA Cup?

The answer, courtesy of the amazing FA Cup Factfile on X, external, formerly Twitter, is just once.

But that means it can be done, Cray Valley fans.

The team in question? West Midlands side Chasetown who, like Cray, were playing in the eighth tier when they stunned League One club Port Vale in round two in 2007.

Well, thanks to perhaps the most famous result in Cray Valley Paper Mills' 104-year history, that's how.

The team from the eighth tier of the football pyramid held a Charlton side from five divisions above after Addicks defender Lucas Ness put through his own net in the second half.

Charlton had looked to be in control when Scott Fraser gave them an early lead but they proceeded to hit the bar and miss two big chances to add to their advantage.

That means the Millers, from the Isthmian League South East Division, earned the right to host their neighbours - the two clubs are three miles apart - in a replay.

The game had been tagged the "Greenwich Borough" derby, between a club that won the FA Cup in 1947 and one which was playing in the first round for only the second time in their history, after coming through eight qualifying games to get there.

Cracking tin-foil game, m'lady.

Insert applause emoji.

• Charlton have won all five of their FA Cup replays against non-league opposition, with this their first since a 3-1 win over Luton Town in December 2010.
• Cray Valley Paper Mills are looking to reach the FA Cup second round for the first time ever – in their only other first-round tie before 2023-24, they lost 1-0 to Havant & Waterlooville in November 2020.
• Charlton have won their last three away FA Cup matches against non-league sides since losing 1-0 to Northwich Victoria in November 2009.
• This is Cray Valley Paper Mills’ first ever home match in the FA Cup proper (first round onwards).

The name Kevin Lisbie will be a familiar one to long-time football fans.

The striker began his career with Charlton, scoring 17 Premier League goals for the Addicks before spells with Ipswich and Leyton Orient among others.

He joined Cray Valley towards the end of his playing career - and that's where his son Kyrell plays.

So it must have been some moment for the Lisbie family when Kyrell set up the Millers' equaliser at The Valley in the initial tie.

Charlton boss Michael Appleton made 11 changes for the initial tie at The Valley 10 days ago.

But this time he only makes five from their last league game - and unlike the first meeting, Cray Valley will have to cope with 12-goal Addicks top scorer Alfie May from the start.

The majority of the changes come at the back, where Charlton have been hit by international call-ups.

Cray Valley name an unchanged side from the one that earned this replay - and all eyes will be on forward Kyrell Lisbie, son of former Addicks favourite Kevin.

Cray Valley XI: Freeman, Williams, Tumkaya, Lee, Asiedu, Ibrahiym, Black, Vigor, Ademiluyi, Parker, Lisbie.

Charlton XI: Walker, Asiimwe, Ness, Jones, Edun, Dobson, McGrandles, Fraser, May, Leaburn, Blackett-Taylor.

There are 116 places in the footballing pyramid between Charlton Athletic and their hosts Cray Valley Paper Mills.

Of course, the non-leaguers made light of that chasm in the initial meeting between the sides, holding their illustrious neighbours to a 1-1 draw to force tonight's replay.

And, in fairness, Cray Valley would surely be a few places higher in the Isthmian South East table if not for their FA Cup run.

Including replays, this is the minnows' 10th FA Cup tie of the season - by comparison, they've only played six league games.
