Although disappointed initially to have dropped two points on Tuesday evening, Blue Square Bet South league leaders, Welling United still came away from Staines Town requiring just four more points to guarantee the league title.
Fourth placed Weston-super-Mare make the long trip from Somerset to visit North West Kent on Saturday. They are looking to gather sufficient points to guarantee them a place in the play-offs so the game promises to be a cracker.
Both teams were in action on Tuesday and will be hoping that anyone who picked up a knock will be fit to play. Welling full back Barney Williams was caught by a late challenge at Staines and the club will be monitoring his progress very closely.
Earlier in the season at Weston, Welling went behind in the last minute of the first half and then went on to concede a second in the 90th minute as they left themselves short at the back in the hunt for an equaliser.
Last season, stunning goals by Jack Parkinson and Loick Pires helped Welling to a two nil victory in the corresponding fixture at Park View Road. Both players have since moved to Woking but Welling are the league’s leading scorers with Ross Lafayette in fine form with an average bettering a goal in every other league game.
Welling can expect to have another good support hoping to cheer their team ever nearer to the finishing line so it is advisable to arrive early and enjoy the happy hour between 13:30 and 14:30, full details of which will be published on the club’s website.
Should Welling United win their game and Salisbury City were to lose theirs, the party will start nice and early at Park View Road with promotion then guaranteed.
