Welling United’s next pre-season friendly test comes with the short journey to VCD Athletic on Saturday afternoon (3pm). 

With three more friendly runouts to come before the big kick-off on August 9th, Wings boss Lee Martin will be getting closer to finalising the look and feel of his squad to ensure its ready for the league campaign.

THE OPPOSITION

VCD Athletic will be plying their trade at step four of the non-League pyramid in 2025/26 after winning promotion via the play-offs last term.

After finishing in second place in the Southern Counties East League Premier Division, they faced Fisher in the play-off final and gained a 2-1 victory thanks to a last-gasp winner to seal their place in the Isthmian League South East Division for the season ahead.

VCD’s pre-season results have seen them share a 1-1 draw at Frenford, before beating Corinthian 2-0 away from home last weekend and drawing 2-2 at home to Grays Athletic in midweek.
