Welling United 0, Aveley 1 (Match abandoned)

THERE was a bizarre ending to Tuesday evening's (12 August) clash at Welling when the Isthmian Premier match was abandoned with just second remaining following a floodlight faulure.

With Millers leading 1-0 in the dying moments of the game, the lights at the road end of the stadium went out, leading to play being halted during a stoppage in play while the visiting keeper received treatment.

And after much discussion, the referee made the decision to abandon the game, with a decision to be made as to whether the result will stand at a later date.

Prior to the dramatic conclusion Millers had taken the lead, after an even first half, with a penalty awarded just two minutes into the second half. Ollie Peters stepped up and converted the spot-kick.

Both sides had chances to score during an entertaining and competitive second half, but Aveley looked to have got the points until the lights went out.
