Wellington AFC

WELLINGTON were made to pay for some woeful defending as they were beaten 4-2 at Elmore in the Toolstation Division One on Saturday, September 24th.

Elmore led 1-0 at the interval and also missed a first-half penalty.

They ran in three more goals after the break while Wellington replied through Nick Woon and Greg Hammond.

Meanwhile, two goals from John Tong earned Wellington Reserves a 2-2 draw at home to Clyst Valley.

FA Vase First Qualifying Round: Wellington 3, Calne Town 1

WELLINGTON staged a magnificent second-half fightback to knock Calne, of the Toolstation League’s premier division, out of the FA Vase at the Playing Field last Saturday.

The memorable victory earned them £500 in prizemoney and a home tie against Ringwood Town, from the Wessex League, on Saturday, October 1.

To quote the old football cliché, it was definitely a game of two halves as Calne were on top before the interval only to be knocked out of their stride by tactical changes by Wellington’s new management team.

The Wellington scorers were John Norman, Simon Ingram and Nick Woon.

Toolstation League Division One: Street 4, Wellington 1

WELLINGTON’S new management team of Paul West and Ian Jackson were left seething by their side’s comprehensive defeat at Street last Saturday.

After two successive victories, they had gone into the match full of confidence and with three of the team taking on the club they played for last season.

Street made the breakthrough midway through the first-half as Lee Ashton scored with a thumping header from a corner with the ball ending up in the net through a crowd of players.

Four minutes later it was 2-0 as a rebound put Ben Anger in space on the right and his low cross was turned in at the far post by Kieron White.
Wellington clawed their way back into the game in the 32nd minute when Piper was sent racing clear and cleverly flicked the ball past keeper Tom Punchard to open his scoring account for the season.
That goal gave Wellington hope for the second half but their response was muted with far too many passes going astray and some poor defending.
Street sealed the points with two goals in four minutes midway through the half.
The first came from a well-worked free-kick as White peeled away from the ball which was then slipped to him by Dovey and he scored with a low shot.
If that was a disappointing goal to concede, the fourth was even worse as Wellington carelessly gave the ball away again and it was slipped through to Dovey, who rounded keeper Dave Attwood to net.

WELLINGTON notched up their second successive victory in convincing style at Clyst.

Paul West’s side scored two goals either side of the interval through Matt Brereton (two), Nick Woon and Simon Olds.
