Crusaders’ play-off bid dented by Wings

WELLING U 0 HUNGERFORD T 0

WELLING stalled Hungerford’s bid for the play-offs with a fine display in a match that they could have won.

Early on, Warren Bentley hit a shot across goal for the visitors then Luke Williams drove in a low cross that Danny Waldren cleared off the line.

Alex Cathline had a couple of efforts that were never going to trouble Lewis Ward in the away goal before James Clark drew a save out of Chris Lewington.

Just before the break, Jordan Brown did well to beat Nat Jarvis in the air and head out a cross from Williams.

In the second half, Town were twice thwarted by Lewington – first from Warren Bentley then from Matt Day’s well-struck free kick. After that, Welling raised their game and looked more likely to win.

Substitute Pierre Joseph-Dubois headed wide, and Phil Walsh had a header cleared off the line.

Dan Walker then had a shot well saved and Joseph-Dubois netted, but was flagged off-side.

Jon Boardman headed wide for Hungerford before JosephDubois missed the best chance for Welling when heading wide from Walker’s cross.
