WELLINGTON made sure mathematically they will again be playing in the Premier Division of the Toolstation League next season by winning 2-0 away to Oldland Abbotonians on Saturday (April 20). They now have 29 points and can’t be caught by bottom club Millbrook.

After their 5-3 defeat at Bridgwater United in midweek, the Tangerines had to grind out victory and boss Richard Cherry will be particularly pleased with a clean sheet.

After a goalless first half, the game came to life as Oldand missed an early chance from a corner before Wellington took the lead six minutes after the restart.

Young midfielder Josh Lukins skipped past a couple of players before firing in a low drive from 25 yards.

Oldland nearly drew level just before hour mark when Cash Vinnall got in behind the visitors’ defence and rounded keeper Jake Viney, but defender Alex Cherry did well to get back and clear off the line.

After that, Wellington were able to close out the game with Joe Wragg and Sam Towler both going close to extending their lead.

They had to wait until the final minute to make it 2-0 with sub Danny Wordsworth sending over a corner from the left and Cherry poking the ball home from close range.
