Welling moved up to third in Blue Square Bet South with a comprehensive demolition of Staines on Saturday.

Four different attacking players got on the scoresheet, reflecting the threat the Wings posed from all over the pitch.

A blistering start which saw two goals in the first nine minutes set the hosts on their way.

Loui Fazackerley (pictured) fired in as early as the fourth minute after creating space for himself on the edge of the box and then, when Jamie Coyle's deflected shot fell into his path, Andy Pugh fired home on the turn in the ninth minute to claim his ninth goal of the season.

It should have been 3-0 before the half-hour but Loick Pires, in the starting line-up to replace Joe Healy (flu), somehow failed to convert from a yard out after Fazackerley's shot had been touched on to the bar by keeper Louis Wells.

Pugh and Pires both went close at the start of the second half before Luis Cumbers exchanged passes with first Pires and then Pugh only for Wells to deny him a deserved goal.

Staines finally got a shot on target in the 65th minute when Gareth Stewart turned behind Scott Taylor's strike.

Welling added a third with 20 minutes left when Pugh's drive came back off the post and Pires neatly tucked away the rebound.

The Wings afforded the chance to rest Pires, Coyle and Fazackerley late on, and even claimed a fourth goal when substitute Jordan Johnson sent Cumbers away and he blasted home his ninth goal of the season in stoppage time.

Bromley could soon be looking up at the Wings after they could only draw at St Albans on Saturday.

They fell behind to a David Hutton strike on eight minutes but Leon McKenzie salvaged a point 25 minutes from time to keep Bromley second, though they could fall out of the play-off places altogether if the teams below them win their games in hand.
