Wellington AFC

Toolstation League premier division: Wellington 2, Sherborne Town 0.

WELLINGTON picked up their second important home win in four days with a battling display against Sherborne Town at the Playing Field on Saturday.

The home side went ahead after 12 minutes after a shot from Shane Kingston ended up in the net courtesy of a wicked deflection.

Sherborne pressed for an equaliser but the closest they came was a shot by Steve Burton which rebounded off the crossbar.

Wellington found themselves under the cosh in the second half but defended heroically.

And they sealed the points with a magnificent second goal in the dying minutes.

Kingston found Levi Marlow out on the right and the sub’s low cross saw Scott Holland produce a sublime backheel to guide the ball home.

On Good Friday, Wellington travel to Ilfracombe, they are without a game next Saturday and then entertain Willand Rovers on Easter Monday (3pm).

UNFORTUNATELY, some technical gremlins have meant we suspended uploads to this site recently.

However, thanks to the sterling efforts of Simon Rudd, we are now up and running again.

Many thanks, Simon!
