Welling United

Under Barry Ashby's management, only four of the 16 members of the first team squad involved in the Farnborough started against Dover. Jack Parkinson retained the captaincy and John Whitehouse made his long awaited return behind the posts.

Warren McBean - who was starting his first game for the Wings had a night to forget as he was substituted before half time due to injury.

Dover had controlled the half and took the lead just after half time as Whitehouse failed to get a good enough hand to a Baker shot which crept in.

With Jack Parkinson struggling for fitness, Anthony Acheampong showed why he was starting throughout the first third of the season with some composed defending in the final third throughout the second half.

But he was at fault just before full time as he brought down Baker in the box which gave the hosts the opportunity to finish the match. Battipiedi converted from the spot to give the home side a 2-0 lead which they held on till the final whistle.

Jamie Day had been absent due to training having previously confirmed on Saturday that the high profile game with Chelmsford was his top priority. The defeat means that Welling have no more cup matches to 'distract' them from their league campaign and their continued push for a playoff place.

Welling face Chelmsford on Saturday at Park View Road.
