The match in 55 pictures: Eastbourne Borough win at Welling to move back into top three

An early George Alexander penalty was enough to earn Eastbourne Borough their sixth National League South win of the season at Welling United.

Borough played well and withstood some late pressure by the home side to claim the points and move back up to third – from eighth – in the table.

It was just what boss Adam Murray had asked for after last week’s poor showing at Chelmsford City, where they lost 4-2.

Next up for the Sports is Torquay’s visit to Priory Lane next Saturday for a third-v-fifth encounter.
