After leading at the break Welling United lost 2-1 at the hands of Hayes & Yeading at Park View Road on Saturday afternoon. Omari Coleman gave the Wings the lead but two goals in two minutes from Will Hendry and Steven Gregory secured all three points for the visitors.

Omari Coleman went close just a minute in, when the striker had a low strike saved by Delroy Preddie. Three minutes later and Welling should have been in front. Lloyd Blackman's pass found Coleman but the striker fired his shot over when he should have done better.

Former Wings player Steve Perkins had an effort comfortably saved by Clark Masters before Will Hendry had an excellent opportunity to give his side the lead. A cross from Danny Allen-Page found Hendry unmarked but the midfielder could only manage to head straight at Masters.

The visitors were creating an abundance of chances, Steven Gregory headed wide and Hendry shot over. However, against the run of play and Welling took a surprising lead. An inch perfect ball from Daniel Maxwell allowed Coleman to run rings round the Hayes & Yeading defence before unleashing a low striker past Preddie into the back of the net.

The second half was a disastrous one for Neil Smith and his Welling side. Just five minutes after the restart and the visitors were level. Gregory's cross-found Hendry whose shot seemed to take a deflection off Tony Sinclair before hitting the back of the net.

Two minutes later and Hayes & Yeading were in front with a stunning goal. Gregory picked up the ball from all of 30 yards before unleashing a volley past the helpless Masters.

Welling could not fashion a response and it looked more likely that the visitors would score again. Masters made a superb reaction save to deny Miles Jones from close range.

Half chances were the most the Wings could create, with Hayes & Yeading more than happy to play out the rest of the match.

Welling travel to second place Eastbourne Borough on Tuesday, a side yet to be defeated this season.

Come on you Wings!
