FT: Welling United 2 v 0 Chesterfield The young Spireites can be proud of their performance. Two goals in the second-half did the damage but they remained spirited throughout. They were in the game right to the end.

More reaction coming up on the DT website.

Three minutes added

Jessop forces Charles-Cook into a save.

2-0.

Goal for Welling: 2-0

Muwonge blasts in after battling his way through on goal. That's probably that.

Third Spireite sub - 72 minutes

Luke Mitchell has come on for Rossiter.

Welling are pressing for a second goal but Town are managing to stay in the game....they just need one chance.

That is an outstanding block from Erratt-Thompson to deny Bramble from close-range. He threw his body at the ball to stop it going in. Great defending!

A long-range shot from Bridgeman.

Second Spireites sub - 59 minutes

Abudu off, Mohiuddin on.

Goal for Welling: 1-0

Kamara fires high into the net after turning and finishing inside the area after a cross came in from the right.

Big chance for Welling

Kamara's cross from the right should have been headed in by Welling's Muwonge but he somehow didn't connect with it.

HT sub for Spireites

Harvey Thomas replaces Wragg, who went down in the first-half.

Back underway in the second-half.

Goalless at the break

0-0 at the break.

A hard-working, battling performance from the young Spireites. Welling have had the territory but Town have been well-organised and had a nice shape about them. Chadwick has made two good saves. They've been a credit to the club so far.

But Chadwick gets his body behind Kamara's shot, corner.

For Town's Rossiter, who pinched the ball high up the pitch, he was hurtling towards goal, but his snap-shot/cross didn't trouble the Welling net. Just snatched at that one.

For Town as they win a corner down the other end.

Chadwick saves again

This time he sticks a foot out to block a shot from Papadopoulos. Two good saves in a couple of minutes.

Welling take a corner, there's a scramble in the box, and I think it was Chadwick who stuck a foot out to save from Byrd.
