WELLINGTON Town hoped to build on their opening day draw as they hosted Watchet Town in Division One of the U15 section in the Taunton Youth League.
Welly started the brighter of the two teams; Fletcher L going close twice inside of ten minutes as Watchet looked to ride out the early pressure. But two goals inside of four minutes from the hosts set the tone of the afternoon - Fletcher rounding the keeper on 12 minutes to open the scoring before Jack F doubled the lead only moments later.
Two goals up, and enjoying the majority of territory and possession, Welly continued to look threatening throughout the first half - Sam A’s free kick just before the break narrowly missing the target. However it was Watchet who found themselves back in the game just after the half time break, a goal on 48 minutes halving the deficit.
But Town quickly regained their composure - and the lead - after Zak F volleyed home from range to restore their two goal advantage. And while Town threatened to snatch a fourth in the closing stages, they'll be incredibly satisfied with their deserved 3-1 victory.
Although it is early days yet, Wellington are lying fifth with four points from their opening two matches.
