Desave on fire in Welly win
STRIKER Luke Desave struck four times as Toolstation premier side Wellington won 6-2 away to first division Elmore in their penultimate pre-season friendly yesterday.
Wellington, fielding a host of new signings, displayed some clinical finishing in a useful warm-up to the new season, which kicks off on Saturday.
They went ahead after 15 minutes with a low drive by Alex Pounde, who has rejoined the club, and increased their lead three minutes later with a Jack Adams penalty after a foul on Mark Thompson, also back with Wellington.
Elmore pulled a goal back after 28 minutes through Sam Kemp but then it was Desave who took centre stage.
He put Wellington 3-1 ahead on the stroke of half-time and added three more goals after the break, the best of them a sublime lob after 77 minutes. Elmore managed a late consolation goal through Jessie Howe.
Wellington complete their friendlies with a match away to Taunton Blackbrook at Wordsworth Drive on Wednesday (7.30).
