Red Dragons Held by Wings.

It was an interesting first game for Dan Finch in the Wrexham hot seat at the Racecouse Ground against newly promoted side Welling United.

Jamie Day's side started brightly in a very boring first half which Wrexham dominated. A quick brake after 1 minute  from Welling and dangerous winger Joe Healy saw him brake down the wing before being brought down just inside the box by Wrexham midfield Mark Carrington. Joe Healy stepped up himself to net Welling's first goal in the Skrill Premier for almost 10 years.

The only other goal mouth action came just before half time when Neil Ashton's shot for Wrexham flew well wide of the target meaning Welling lead at half time.

Wrexham made some changes in the second half bringing on Jay Harris and Michael Dubbery. And 2 minutes after the restart Wrexham struck after Loick Pires was stopped well by Wrexham keeper Mayebi whos early kick found Brett Omerod on the half way line who flicked the ball through to on Loan Striker Adebayo Azeez who's run made room to provide a pin point cross for Wrexham wise dog Brett Omerod to finish off the move to give Wrexham the equalizer.

Wrexham almost struck again 5 minutes later when Stephen  Hetherington's corner was met by Michael Dubbery who had is header saved by Graeme Smith at close range before David Artell's follow up was put just wide clipping the bar.

10 minutes left to go when Ade Azeez broke past the Wings back line before beating keeper Graeme Smith but found the inside of the post before being cleared by Fraser Franks in rushed moments.

Wrexham take a point and move on to Halifax away on Tuesday whilst Welling have a home game with Cambridge.
