PLAYING their only pre-season rugby friendly, Wellington were impressive 32-12 away winners against Bridgwater & Albion.

The Hodgson brothers Gareth and Will (2) scored tries for Wellington along with Ash Harney and Charlie Snow.

Full back Alex Davey, who suffered an injury scare in training, enjoyed a 100 per cent success rate with his kicking, landing five conversions for the visitors who used a total of 26 players.

There were stand-out performances from the Hodgsons, Jonny Clist, Davey and Harney.

It was a very satisfactory performance by Wellington with the squad completing the game without any injuries.
