Corinthian-Casuals cruised past a makeshift Welling United side in the first round of the London Senior Cup and in style, winning by a comfortable 5-1 margin.
Two goals from Ben Cheklit book-ended a fine performance with further goals from debutant Amari Hibbert-Delgado, Mu Maan and Max Oldham. Utilising the depth of his squad, Manager James Bracken was able to name an almost entirely different line-up from the 2-0 loss to Greenwich Borough just 48 hours before.
Welling, who had an important National League South fixture to contend with on Non League Day made several changes themselves. A mix of experience and youth was the order of the day for the South East London side.
Casuals started brightly and barely ten minutes had passed before Ben Cheklit ran at the Welling defence before striking home from 20 yards.
They doubled the lead minutes later when strong wing play from Reyon Dillon outpaced Archie Johnson and his forceful cross found Hibbert-Delgado who converted from just yards out.
Corinth were well on top and slick interchanges befitted a crowd greater than the 48 announced as in attendance on this cold October evening. Hibbert-Delgado played a beautiful inside pass to Dillon who pulled back from the byline to find Mu Maan, again converting from the six yard box. 3-0.
A feisty Welling team talk at half time appeared to briefly galvanise the visitors – or at least one of them as King George’s lay witness to a brilliant solo effort from Matty Sinclair. Picking up the ball from the edge of his own box, Sinclair ran 70 yards through the centre of the park before firing past the helpless Danny Bracken from outside the area into the top corner. A goal of real class.
It was probably too much of a mountain to climb for Welling and Max Oldham made sure of the result midway through the second half. Poor defending from the Wings allowed the winger too much time in the box to control a cross and stab home from 8 yards.
And Ben Cheklit rounded off proceedings in style with another fine effort, weaving in and out of the Welling defence before slotting the ball into the opposite corner, out of reach of Adam Deadman. Cheklit celebrated with his non-playing teammates who’d joined in with the fans in cheering on the Casuals.
James Bracken’s side progress into the second round where Casuals will host Dulwich Hamlet.
