Welling 1 Charlton 1

by Matthew Panting

Charlton's first pre-season friendly ended in stalemate after they failed to see off non-league neighbours Welling on Wednesday night.

The Addicks, who fielded different sides in either half, unveiled their new kit - complete with new sponsors in krbs - but failed to dominate the game.

Charlton took the lead early in the second half through Scott Wagstaff but Welling hit back seven minutes later when Sam Hurrell scored from close range.

A crowd of 2,200 saw midfielder Alex Stavrinou stand out in the first half for the Addicks, who had a header by Yado Mambo disallowed for a foul only referee Gavin Ward seemed to spot.

Charlton should have scored after 26 minutes but keeper Charlie Mitten produced a point-blank stop to deny Chris Dickson following Lloyd Sam's cross.

Wagstaff impressed watching Charlton boss Phil Parkinson (pictured) when he drilled his side in front after 48 minutes but good work by Sanchez Ming set up Hurrell to score the equaliser in the 55th minute for the hosts.

Welling could have won it late on but substitute Jake Hobbs saw his 20-yard effort saved by keeper Darren Randolph.

The Addicks fielded trialist Rob Carter in the second half, along with forward Juan Manuel Fernandez Truy.
