WELLINGTON will play seven successive away matches in the Premier Division of the Jewson Western Football League before they play their first home game of the season - against Helston Athletic on Saturday, September 6 (3p.m.).

Wellington cannot play on the Playing Field until September because the ground is required by the local cricket club.

It is a problem Wellington face at the start of every season - and it will not be solved unless they move to a new ground - a plan which was axed some time ago.

Wellington’s first derby game of the season is away to Bridgwater United on Tuesday, August 26. United finished a disappointing 17th in the Premier Division last season, four places below Wellington.

In the Les Phillips Cup, Welington have been drawn away to Nailsea & Tickenham on Tuesday, October 21, while they have a league game at home to Barnstaple Town on Boxing Day.
