Welling United’s Kent Senior Cup defence will begin with a second-round trip to either Folkestone United or VCD Athletic.

The Wings lifted the historic trophy for a fourth time in April thanks to a 1-0 final victory over Ebbsfleet United at Priestfield Stadium and their journey in the 2025/26 rendition of the competition will commence with an away trip.

Having received a bye into the second round as holders, Lee Martin’s men will face the winners of Folkestone and VCD, who will go to battle in the first round.

A date for the cup tie will be announced once confirmed.
