Wings stroll to Park View Road win

Welling 4 Bognor Regis Town 1

Welling hit four goals for the second successive home game as they comfortably saw off Bognor on Saturday - a result that confirmed relegation for their Sussex visitors.

The Wings had to come from behind to claim the three points but managed to do so with some ease.

Bognor took the lead on the half hour when the lively Jason Downes played a neat one-two on the edge of the box before prodding the ball past keeper Charlie Mitten.

Welling equalised seven minutes before the break when Harry Arter's corner fell to Sanchez Ming on the edge of the area and his right-foot piledriver went in off the underside of the bar.

The game's turning point arrived two minutes into first half injury-time when fussy referee Lee Venamore somehow awarded Bognor a corner, but it proved to Welling's advantage as the ball was promplty cleared up the other end by Ming and Sam Hurrell scored from close range.

Welling went 3-1 ahead on 52 minutes when Moses Ademola collected the ball 25 yards out, created space for himself and fired home into the top corner.

He was subsequently replaced by leading scorer Charlie Sheringham for the final half hour and the Wings added to their tally with 14 minutes left when Arter won possession and crossed for Sheringham to head home from close range.

It could have been more as Loui Fazackley and Arter both went close but Welling travel to Havant on Monday night in good heart.


Hayes & Yeading 2 Bromley 1

Meanwhile, a low-key match ended with in form Hayes & Yeading notching up their ninth straight win at the expense of Bromley.

The opening goal arrived on 32 minutes when a good move down the left ended with Will Hendry scoring off the underside of the bar.

Hendry made it 2-0 in the 66th minute when he got to the ball just before keeper Gareth Williams and kept his nerve to beat covering defender Mark Corneille on the line.

The Lillywhites suffered another blow 10 minutes from time when Luke I'Anson was forced off with an injury, leaving Bromley with only 10 men as they had already used three substitutes.

But being a man down seemed to galvanise Mark Goldberg's men.

Brian Haule curled in a fine free-kick on 89 minutes after a foul on Ashley-Paul Robinson and they nearly snatched a point in stoppage-time when Robinson's cross-cum-shot hit the top of the crossbar.
