Full-time - Basingstoke Town 1 Welling 3

Town probably deserved something for their second half display but the referee is not a popular man in the Camrose after a couple of bad decisions went against the home side.

See The Monday Gazette for a report, reaction and pictures from the game.

Clarke beats the off-side trap to go through and attempts to take the ball around Town 'keeper Moore, who does well to get a touch. Referee Alex Neil points to the spot and books Moore, who is then sent the wrong way by Clarke.

Half-time - Basingstoke Town 0 Welling United 1

Town have been well below par and Gray has plenty of work to do at the break.

45 + 1 min - Pattison and Rice link up down the right before Sam-Yorke does brilliantly to win the ball in the box and force Stewart into a smart stop.

43 min - Lake curls a shot narrowly wide from the edge of the area. Then, Warner makes a break but ignores the unmarked Sam-Yorke and fires wide.

It had been coming and Welling take the lead, hitting Town with an incisive break.

Left-back Jack Obersteller found himself in space as Pattison had drifed inside and he produced a fine pass to put Pugh through. The striker held off Ross Adams before firing in a shot that Moore did well to touch on to the post - but Pires was there to net the rebound.

39 min - GOAL - Basingstoke Town 0 Welling United 1 (Loick Pires)

36 min - David Pratt fails to make the most of the chance after good play from Jide Ogunbote gives him a chance to run at the defence. He chooses not to pass to Sam-Yorke and is crowded out.

34 min - Welling's Jamie Coyle is the first player to be shown a yellow card after a foul on Sam-Yorke.

29 min - Welling are on top at the moment, with Town struggling to get their passing going, and the visitors create another chance - Simon Moore having to save as Healy gets his head to Pires'

cross.

27 min - Warner loses the ball in midfield and Loick Pires almost gets in before Pugh shoots narrowly over from the edge of the area. 25 min - Welling midfielder Lee Clarke almost get through but a fine tackle by Stuart Lake denies him a clear chance.

19 min - Welling attack down their left and Rice and Jay Gasson both get drawn to the ball, leaving winger Joe Healy free. He is played in and puts in a low centre that Andy Pugh acrobatically volleys narrowly wide.

15 min - Rice shoots from 30 yards, forcing Welling 'keeper Gareth Stewart into a regulation save diving to his left.

9 min - Matt Finlay gets caught one on one with Luis Cumbers on the break. The Town man fails to make proper contact with his attempted clearance and pulls the striker back just outside the area before blocking his shot.

The referee takes a soft line on Finlay, not even booking him - and the free-kick sails well over the crossbar.

4 min - A great pass from Matt Warner puts Matt Pattison away down the left channel. However, he dwells on the ball and his shot is charged down.

1 min - Basingstoke get the game underway and will shoot towards the Town end in the first half.

Team news: Frank Gray has made two changes to the side that lost to AFC Wimbledon last week, with Robert Rice replacing Nathan Smart at right-back and Delano Sam-Yorke coming in for Greg Draper in attack. Tom Williamson and Gary Frewen are the unlucky men watching from the stands.

Town: Moore, Rice, Finlay, Adams, Gasson, Lake, Pattison, Ogunbote, Pratt, Sam-Yorke, Warner. Subs: Smart, Laidler, Downes, Draper, Reynolds.
