Dover Athletic 0 Welling United 0 match report: No goals from National League South game at Crabble

There was nothing to separate Dover and Welling who played out a goalless National League South draw on Easter Friday.

Whites looked the more likely to find a winner, although a point apiece does inch both teams another step closer towards avoiding relegation this season.

The hosts had the first chance at Crabble with five minutes played in front of a crowd of 817. Young centre-back Andi Janjeva nodded skipper Lee Martin's corner straight at Wings goalkeeper Kai McKenzie-Lyle.

Five minutes later, things briefly threatened to heat up in the April sunshine after a shove by Welling's Christie Pattisson on Luke Wanadio. But referee Samuel Read was quickly on the scene.

Whites then had two opportunities in quick succession. A short-corner routine caught the visitors napping and teenage midfielder Freddie Oliver tested McKenzie-Lyle from distance before right-back Myles Judd found space but couldn’t poke past the visitors keeper.

That home pressure continued on the half-hour mark when Martin was next to try his luck for Mitch Brundle’s troops with a rasping drive while centre-back Jake Goodman - who had remained up front after a set-piece - headed wide from yards out.

Whites made an enforced change in the 35th minute. Judd took a bang to the head and came off for David Boateng.

More good work by Wanadio saw the wideman cut inside on the stroke of half-time as he unleashed a curling shot.

Yet again, however, Guyana international McKenzie-Lyle wasn’t to be beaten. He parried away for a corner which, again, he stopped from crossing his line after a goal-bound header.

Warren Feeney’s Wings made their first substitution in the 51st minute, with Oliver down for the home side. Medy Elito replaced Daniel Nkrumah.
