Wings Trophy tie brought forward

Welling United v Worcester City

WELLING'S FA Trophy third round tie has been switched to this Saturday, following a ruling by the Football Association.

The game had been due to take place on Sunday because Erith & Belvedere were meant to be hosting Hythe in the Kent League Premier Division on Saturday.

Welling claimed that Worcester's secretary agreed to the game taking place on Sunday after the Wings' second round replay with Tamworth concluded on Tuesday night. But that was denied by Worcester - and their chairman successfully appealed to the FA on Wednesday morning to switch the game.

Welling secretary Barrie Hobbins said: "We've been told that we have to play it on the Saturday now."

It means that Erith's game at home to Hythe has been postponed.

Kick off at Park View Road is at 2pm. If the teams draw on Saturday, any replay would take place at Worcester on Monday, February 5, kick-off 7.45pm.
