TRIUMPHANT Wellington WILL be playing in the Toolstation League’s Premier Division next season.

Rumours have been circulating that the newly-crowned Division One champions would not be able to carry out the necessary improvements to their Playing Field ground to make the step up.

Toolstation League division one: Shepton Mallet 1, Wellington 2

NEWLY-CROWNED division one champions Wellington finished the club’s most successful ever campaign with league win number 27 at Shepton on Saturday.

WELLINGTON clinched the Toolstation League division one title for the first time in their history last night (Wednesday).

They drew 3-3 away to Minehead to earn the point which ensured they finished ahead of nearest rivals Sherborne and Larkhall ... and still have one game to play.

AFTER a 3-0 victory at Hengrove on Saturday virtually assured Wellington of the Toolstation League division one title, we can look forward celebrating the success.

We need just one point from our final two games - at Minehead on Wednesday (kick off 6.30pm) and at Shepton Mallet on Saturday.

WELLINGTON are pressing ahead with improvements to the Playing Field facilities to bring them up to premier division standard.

Plans include a 100-seater stand and fencing off the open side of the ground on match days.

“We had another meeting with Toolstation League and FA officials at the club last week and they were very pleased with our progress,” said chairman Ken Bird.

Toolstation League Division 1: Roman Glass St George 2, Wellington 8

Toolstation League Division 1: Wellington 0, Shrewton United 1

WELLINGTON’S title hopes suffered a setback as they were beaten by Shrewton United in an incident-packed game at the Playing Field last Saturday.

It was a bad day at the office for Leigh Robinson’s side, who did everything but score in the second half as they pummelled the Shrewton goal.

A PLAN to build a 100-seater spectator stand at Wellington Football Club won support from town councillors on Monday evening.

Wellington Town Council's planning committee unanimously passed a motion backing the scheme, which will also see a metal sheet perimeter barrier put up on match days and taken down afterwards.
