Wings make Swift offer to help out Dockers

Kent League side Erith Town have been forced to switch their FA Cup Second Qualifying Round tie with Ryman Premier League side Heybridge Swifts - due to an athletics event at their Erith Sports Stadium home.

With FA rules stating that the match had to be played on the weekend of the 29^th September, their Blue Square South neighbours, Welling United have stepped in to host the tie on Sunday 30^th September, kicking off at 2pm.

“We are very grateful to Welling as the tie would have been switched to Heybridge had we been unable to find a suitable venue,” said a Dockers' statement on their website.

Should a replay be required, it will be played at Heybridge Swifts’ Scraley Road ground on Tuesday, 2^nd October (7:30pm).

As a result of the Sunday FA Cup tie, Erith Town’s Kent League derby against Beckenham Town, scheduled for Monday, 1^st October, has now been postponed.
