Tonbridge Angels Academy maintained a 100% start to their league season with well-earned win at a blustery Longmead Stadium against Welling United.
The Angels had, by far, the better of the first period, but Welling were much improved after the break and goalkeeper, Nat Gibb and his defenders had to work hard for their clean sheet.
An early chance fell to Josh McArthur who was denied by the visiting goalkeeper, Sonny Findlay but, after 14 minutes, the Angels were in front when a defence-splitting through ball from Hayden Velvick sent Ben Hermitage clear to slot past the advancing Findlay.
The score was quickly doubled when, following a free kick conceded centrally on the edge of the box, Leo Vowles curled his shot into the corner.
Welling offered a response with Gibb twice denying Oghosa Williams but it was the home side that were in the ascendancy with Hermitage pulling a shot wide before Velvick made it 3-0, crashing in a shot from a narrow angle following a short corner routine.
An audacious dummy from Velvick sent Vowles clear just before the break but Findlay saved well at his feet.
The second half was far more even with both goalkeepers gainfully employed. Gibb saved from Williams and Chris Newall whilst Findlay did similarly from Hermitage with Tom Green and Kian Austin shooting over the bar.
With 10 minutes remaining, Welling's Newall smashed a shot against the crossbar but, in time added, the final say went to Josh Tobin, who finished a move involving Velvick and Will Saunders, before firing into the corner from 12 yards.
