Weston-super-Mare 2 Welling United 0
Blue Square Bet South
promotion chasers Welling slipped to a third successive away
defeat, on Saturday.
A 2-0 loss at
Weston-super-Mare saw Welling drop from top spot two second as the
Jamie Day's (pictured) side failed to score for the first time
this season.
Weston’s Ross Steam fired a
penalty wide in the first half and at the other end only a great
save denied Lee Clarke from scoring for Welling.
But the hosts took a lead
into the break after Jamie Laird scored from a scramble.
Home goalkeeper Irish Lloyd
made another good save, this time to deny player-manager Day,
from a free-kick.
The Wings were handed a boost
when goalscorer Laird was sent-off for a second bookable offence
but in the dying minutes, while the Wings piled forward in search
of an equaliser, they were stunned by a second Weston goal scored
by Dayle Grubb.
Welling were grateful for slip-ups elsewhere at the top of
the table and sit one point off the top with two games in
hand.
