Welly are held at home
Sunday, January 31st, 2010Toolstation League premier division: Wellington 2, Brislington 2.
WELLINGTON failed to capitalise on a flying start as they were held by Brislington at the Playing Field yesterday.
The home side scored twice in the first eight minutes through a John Bradford shot and a penalty coolly dispatched by skipper and leading scorer Simon Ingram.
But Brislington hit back to equalise before the break thanks to a towering header from Jason Hughes and close-range effort by Leon Simpson on the half-hour.
Both sides hit the woodwork after the break with Wellington striker Shane Kingston seeing a rising shot come back off the bar.
At the other end, Brislington nearly snatched the points with five minutes remaining as substitute Tood Winter’s shot came back off the foot of the post and fellow sub Keith Williams fired over from the rebound.
Wellington are in league action again on Wednesday night when they entertain Bishop Sutton (7.30).
