Welling held on for a point in Blue Square Bet South at Kent rivals Tonbridge on Saturday.

Jack Parkinson's own goal gave Tonbridge an early lead before Andy Pugh (pictured) scored his 17th goal of the season to put the Wings back on level terms.

Angels had the upper hand in the second half, enjoying much of the possession, but they could not find another way past keeper Dan Thomas.

Tonbridge had got off to the best possible start when Parkinson inadvertently headed into his own net.

But good work by Luis Cumbers and Lee Clarke saw the prolific Pugh left unmarked to tap in the equaliser from close range - his sixth goal in his last seven games.

Tonbridge missed a glorious chance to regain the lead while Pugh was denied his second of the afternoon just before the break.

Welling's Joe Healy had to clear off his own line after the break and keeper Dan Thomas made a fine save late on as Welling extended their unbeaten run to seven games.

Bromley, meanwhile, suffered their seventh successive defeat, losing a sixth straight Blue Square Bet South match in going down 3-1 at home to Eastbourne.

The visitors took an early lead when Steve Brinkhurst headed in after 16 minutes.

Lewis Taylor thought he had equalised moments later but his effort was ruled out for offside.

It took Bromley just five minutes of the second half to equalise when Bradley Goldberg's corner was half-cleared to Salifou Ibrahima, who scored with a low drive.

Ben Austin headed Eastbourne back in front with 21 minutes left from a corner and they wrapped up the points late on through Ross Treleaven.
