Joe heads Welly winner
WELLINGTON have taken their first step on the long road to Wembley after a 1-0 win at Brislington on Saturday in the FA Cup extra preliminary round.
The returning Joe Dakwa, who missed the midweek defeat at Ilfracombe, was the match winner for Wellington, heading home Lewis Tasker’s off-target shot after 53 minutes.
In truth it could have been more comfortable for Wellington as Dakwa had efforts cleared off the line in both the first and second half of the match.
Brislington, who beat Wellington 2-1 in last week’s league opener, piled on the pressure towards the end of the match but the chances they created were dealt with by Wellington goalkeeper Ryan Lewis.
The win comes as sweet revenge for Wellington, who now go on to host Bodmin Town in the next round. Bodmin were 3-0 winners over Launceston.
