Welling continue pre-season campaign with victory at Herne Bay
George Evans scored the only goal in Welling United's pre-season friendly at Herne Bay. He timed his run perfectly to get behind the home team's defence before finishing clinically. Earlier on, Ruben Shakpoke had rattled the framework of the Herne Bay goal with a fierce drive however, the hosts also had their chances and both goalkeepers made excellent saves. After the match, Lee Martin gave his thoughts. 'I've always said that pre-season was about getting minutes in the boys legs but this one, with eleven days until the opening fixture, it was about going out and winning. At times I thought we showed what we were capable of doing. It was a bit of a scrappy game really. 'Winning becomes a habit and it's important that we go into it fairly strong and off the back of the Leyton Orient one where we lost a bit of confidence. Today was completely different because we went in with two forwards.' Evans and George Penn, both on loan from Bromley, made their first appearances in Welling colours. 'He (Evans) is superb.' purred Martin. 'He's almost like a throw back. He's full of energy, full of beans. I thought George Penn, as well, dictated the tempo of play. He's got a nasty side as well. He's a clever footballer. 'We've had these pictures painted for a while now. We spoke to the pro clubs and planted the seeds early. We're not just reactive. The Orient game told me everything, and more, but that was already in the pipeline.' Martin was also full of praise for the trialist goalkeeper. 'He's superb. He's not going to be number one, but he is someone who I think has got a great opportunity to come in and play our style of football. I love him. He's a great character. He's come in and travels everywhere with us, he's always keen to listen and learn.' Jack Paxman played the entire ninety minutes, and Greg Cundle the first forty-five, after both had missed Saturday's game with VCD Athletic as a precaution. Martin explained 'Greg Cundle has got a tight calf, James Dyer's away, Gil (Carvalho)'s away, Eric (Wilhelm's) been injured as well so it's an opportunity for the boys to turn up. Scott Simmons has really showcased what he can do today. I thought he was superb. We've got a young squad. They're not going to be ten out of ten every week. We're asking them to develop and that's down to me and my coaching staff. 'It's not perfect. I'm a tough person to please but I'm relatively happy, certainly with the potential business that we are going to do as well. I've read before about this revolving door at Welling. It's not. We've got this two or three year plan where we want to keep eight to ten core boys, who know the club, know the DNA, got the blueprint of what it means to play for us, and the club.' Welling United: Trialist A, Trialist B, Majoyegbe, Simmons, Cundle, Trialist C, Penn, Shakpoke. Paxman, Andrews, Evans. Substitutes: Huk, Sinai, J. Leahy, Trialist D, Ufuah, Trialist E, Wilhelm.

It covers Whitstable and Herne Bay and is in effect from 25 to 27 July. It is the latest in a series of operations by the force which, it said, has seen 30 people moved on in a previous weekend.

TV tonight: a depressing look at how TikTok Shop is making us spend
12.05am, Channel 4Anyone else find themself sheepishly asking for Dubai chocolate at the local corner shop earlier this year? Thank TikTok for that. Beyond making products go viral, TikTok Shop is a thriving platform where millions use videos to buy and sell items, often via livestreams. Content creator Mariam Musa takes an insightful, if depressing, look at this world and how easy it is to get sucked in. Hollie Richardson 8pm, Channel 4'It's my haven and my prison,' says Gail of her four-bed in Margate, drowning in faux-Victoriana and co-habited by 22 lifelike dolls. (Property expert Stuart: 'Every time I look at a doll, they're telling me to get out of the house.') Elsewhere, Nikki's Herne Bay property, with its gothic decor and dated bedrooms, needs a facelift. Ali Catterall 8pm, U&WAs season one of the girlboss answer to Dragons' Den comes to a close, it's time to invest. From pop-up dog crates to emergency undies, there are plenty of novel ideas – but which of the fledgling entrepreneurs will convince supermodel Ashley Graham and Kardashian business partner Emma Grede to part with their dosh? Hannah J Davies 8pm, U&AlibiJoely Richardson guest-stars as a film star in this fun period crime drama about a bookshop owner – Mr Book (Mark Gatiss) – who likes to solve cases on the side. When an actor drops dead on set after eating poisoned chocolates, suspicion points to the movie's leads. HR 9.50pm, PBS America This two-part documentary undertakes a retrospective of the second world war Pearl Harbor attack by Japan. Expect plenty of archive footage and talking heads as it analyses the incident that led to the US entering the conflict. Alexi Duggins 10pm, BBC FourWriter Patrick Marber was once best known for comedy such as Alan Partridge, so it was an unexpected turn when he reimagined Strindberg's 1888 play After Miss Julie in 1995. Before it airs (at 10.15), he talks about making it, and working with Kathy Burke and Phil Daniels. HR Tin Soldier (Brad Furman, 2025), Prime Video Well, this is a weird one. Tin Soldier is a film where Scott Eastwood attempts to infiltrate a cult and overthrow its leader. What makes it odd, however, is how heavily this is overshadowed by its supporting cast. Robert De Niro features in a typically underpowered late-stage role as a kind of military adviser. But even he recedes into the shadows next to Jamie Foxx, playing the aforementioned cult leader. He has huge hair. He has silly glasses. He has questionable facial hair. His name is The Bokushi. None of it makes any sense. It's sort of incredible. Stuart Heritage Emma (Autumn de Wilde, 2020), 11pm, BBC TwoThis 2020 Jane Austen adaptation was the directorial debut of photographer Autumn de Wilde, who brought all the experience of her old career to the table. The story of a wealthy woman who attempts to act as a matchmaker, with far-reaching consequences, has been told over and over again. What sets this version apart are the lively performances – from Anya Taylor-Joy, Josh O'Connor and Bill Nighy – and visuals that are modern enough to cut through all the period stuffiness.
