WELLINGTON made it four successive wins with a 5-2 home victory over St Blazey in the Premier Division of the Jewson Western League.
Wellington handed debuts to Harvey Field and Callum Thomas — two new defenders signed from Brixham — and both fitted in seamlessly as the home side produced an impressive display.
After an even opening, Wellington took control midway through the first half with two goals in three minutes from in-form winger Nathan Byrne.
The first came on 26 minutes when he cut in from the left and rifled a fierce drive past the visiting keeper. Moments later, skipper Miles Quick released Byrne, and he coolly slipped the ball home to double the advantage.
The Cornish visitors, unbeaten in six league matches, struggled to contain Wellington’s pace and movement, but kept the score to 2–0 at the interval.
As the rain poured down, Wellington were awarded a penalty for handball, and Douglas Camilo made no mistake from the spot to make it 3–0.
Things went from bad to worse for St Blazey as they were briefly reduced to ten men, with a player sin binned, and then to nine when Tyler Elliot was shown a straight red card for an ugly foul on Camilo.
Wellington took full advantage. On 62 minutes, Byrne turned provider, crossing for Camilo whose header was blocked, but he reacted quickest to tuck in the rebound for his second. Four minutes later, Sam Towler added a fifth.
To their credit, ten-man St Blazey kept going and were rewarded late on when Jordan Bentley looped in a header after a corner and Harry Probyn raced clear to score.
Wellington: Jack McAndrews, Josh Lukins, Jake Haggerty, Callum Thomas, Harvey Field, Miles Quick, Sam Towler, Mark Cornish, Nathan Byrne, Douglas Camilo, Josh Baker. Substitutes: Oscar Albano, Jack Alcock, Alfie Slough, Ryan Brereton (used); Daniel Conway (not used).
