Back on track

Toolstation League Division 1: Wellington 4, Almondsbury 2.

WELLINGTON moved to within two points of leaders Sherborne with two games in hand after victory at home to Almondsbury in a replayed match last night (Wednesday).

The hosts took the lead after 20 minutes when Dan Short rose to head home a corner.

Welington appeared to have put the game beyond lowly Almondsbury with two goals in a minute on the stroke of half-time.

First, Simon Ingram's free-kick was headed on by Dan Boere for Nick Woon fire home on the turn. Then, a fine pass from Ingram found Ali Pounde who ran on to drill home.

However, Almondsbury stunned Wellington by scoring twice in the first seven minutes of the second half.

Robert Warren got behind the defence to lob Ryan Lewis and Jon Adams capitalised on some poor defending to make it 3-2.

But Wellington secured the points with a fourth goal ten minutes from time when a scramble led to Danny Cockram shooting home through a crowd of players.

In original game last month, the referee blew the full time whistle five minutes early in bad weather with Wellington leading 5-1. He said the result would stand, but the league ruled it had to be replayed.

Wellington are away to Roman Glass St George on Saturday.
