Welling United’s season gets under way with a trip to Cheshunt on Saturday as the Wings begin life in the Isthmian League Premier Division (3pm).

New boss Lee Martin will make his bow in the dugout for the first time in a competitive fixture, while a raft of summer arrivals will make their debuts as a new-look Welling team look to hit the ground running in Hertfordshire.

THE OPPOSITION

Cheshunt are preparing for their third consecutive season in the seventh tier following their solitary campaign in the National League South in 2022/23.

Last season saw the Ambers finish in 15th position in the Isthmian League Premier Division.

They signed off their pre-season campaign with a 2-2 home draw with Royston Town last weekend.

LAST TIME OUT

The Wings shared a 1-1 draw with their hosts in the last visit to Cheshunt back in February 2023.

Welling took the lead early in the second half thanks to a freak finish from Ade Azeez to bag his 15th goal of the season and it looked as if that would be enough to secure back-to-back away wins and all three points.

But a 94th-minute penalty would deny the visitors from crossing the finishing line and the evening was compounded even deeper in injury time when Stefan Payne was given his marching orders following a second yellow card.
