Invicta will be in our sky blue away kit, with our hosts in red.

The Opposition

Welling United unveiled a new permanent manager on Monday evening: former Sittingbourne manager Ryan Maxwell. Former Braintree Town manager Maxwell lead Sittingbourne to consecutive playoff finishes in the Isthmian South East Division as well as the FA Trophy quarter finals last season, beating National League side Southend United on the way.

Maxwell originally took over at Sittingbourne with the club threatened by relegation but lead The Brickies to survival and will be aiming to repeat that performance at Park View Road, with Welling currently on a run of seven consecutive defeats in all competitions and second bottom in the Isthmian Premier Division – six points from safety.
