Deserved a point
Toolstation League Premier Division: Frome Town 1, Wellington 0
WELLINGTON were desperately unlucky not to come away from Frome Town with a point on Tuesday night.
Again hit by injuries, they gave a gritty display and did everything but score in a stirring late rally.
Wellington defended well against the highly-rated Frome side, who have ambitions of Southern League football, and restricted them to only a couple of half-chances in the first half.
And there was controversy over what proved to be the winning goal after 63 minutes as the referee over-ruled his well-positioned assistant who had flagged for a goal kick.
The resulting corner was headed goalwards and dropped to defender Matt Cowler, who cleverly flicked it into the net.
That goal sparked Wellington into life and they pummelled the Frome goal without being able to score the equaliser their efforts deserved.
Craig Herrod blasted inches over before defender Scott Holland brought two fine saves out of keeper Richard Fey and had another effort cleared off the line.
Skipper Simon Ingram was also denied by a goalline clearance as Wellington were left to reflect on what might have been.
Wellington: Ryan Lewis, Andy Robertson, Daniel Short, Scott Holland, Jack Adams, Mark Thompson, Simon Ingram, Andy Butler, Craig Herrod, Shane Kingston, Luke Desave. Sub: Darren Stone (for Thompson 50 mins).
