Lincoln City 1-1 Welling United
Lincoln City 1-1 Welling United

Having been victorious in the five previous matches between the two teams, Welling were fifteen minutes away from extending their record against Lincoln City.

FOOTBALL (WELLING AWAY)

They still came away with a good point but there was some disappointment in not holding out for the victory.

Both teams had early half chances early on. Matt Rhead sent a header over for Lincoln then Paul Farman did well to thwart Michael Bakare following a good flowing Welling movev.

Michael Chambers went wide and Ricky Wellard fired over for Welling before Tom King made an easy save from Rhead.FOOTBALL (WELLING AWAY)

George Porter collected a pass from Nortey Nortei and found Sam Corne but the Wings’ midfielder hit a shot that took a deflection that wrong footed Farman but went fractionally wide of the near post.

Bakare flicked his header beyond the far post from Corne’s corner but Welling took a deserved lead just before the interval.

Lincoln got caught out by a quick sharp Welling break which was finished by Reece Harris after Porter’s unselfish ball set him free.

FOOTBALL (WELLING AWAY)

After the break, Welling were pressed by a Lincoln team showing a little more urgency. Rhead headed over then Alan Power shot wide.

Callum Howe had a header saved by King and Rhead saw his shot deflected wide. Substitute Terry Hawkridge was off target with a free kick before the Imps equalised with fifteen minutes remaining.

Maybe Welling could have closed him down, but Jack Muldoon smashed home a twenty five yarder that King was unable to keep out.

Both keepers made good saves in the closing minutes but the teams were forced to settle for a point apiece.

Manager Loui Fazakerley said afterwards “It was a good first half performance and a great time to go in front. We were always going to be up against it with the elements in the second half.”

“It is disappointing when you are leading in a game like this that we couldn’t hold on for what would have been a great three points. Coming away from this place with a point is something to be happy with.”
