Forest Green Rovers 4-1 Welling United
- From the section Conference
Jon Parkin scored twice as Forest Green Rovers moved to within two points of Conference play-off places with a comfortable win over Welling.
But it was the visitors that took the lead when striker Joe Healy found the bottom corner after a well worked move.
However, Rovers were level three minutes later when striker Parkin finished Elliott Frear's centre.
The same two combined for Parkin's second, before Kurtis Guthrie and then James Norwood secured the three points.
