Beaten in North Devon
Toolstation League premier division: Ilfracombe 2, Wellington 0
WELLINGTON suffered their second defeat of the season when they were beaten in North Devon on Tuesday night.
New boss Leigh Robinson was again unable to field anything like his first-choice line-up but they were still right in the game until former Wellington striker Leon Taswell scored Ilfracombe’s second goal with ten minutes to go.
Wellington found themselves on the back foot for most of the first half and Lee Francis hit the bar for Ilfracombe before they took the lead after 32 minutes. Taswell headed the ball forward to Shaun Lewis and his pass was swept home by strike partner Robert Gough.
Wellington gave a much better account of themselves after the break with Alex Pounde looking their biggest threat.
But Ilfracombe wrapped up the points in the closing stages when Taswell, who has also played for Taunton Town, headed home a Matt Downing cross.
Wellington: Ryan Lewis, Craig Mawford, Nathan Best, Scott Holland, Jack Adams, Mark Armstrong, Ben Sharland, David Thorne, Lewis Tasker, Luke Desave, Alex Pounde. Substitutes, Sam Bryant (for Desave), Chris Macdougall (for Tasker), Niall Martin (not used).
