WELLINGTON produced a superb team performance to beat Bridgwater United 1-0 away in the Premier Division of the Jewson Western League on Tuesday night, skipper Glen Wright hitting the winner with a wonder strike early on.

The game was only three minutes old when Wright took aim from 35 yards and the ball flew over keeper Louis Smith and into the net.

Bridgwater have signed a host of players during the close season but they were kept at bay as Wellington made it one draw and one win under new manager Josh Stunell.

After their dream start, the Tangerines frustrated the hosts who were limited to couple of half-chances as the first half ended 1-0.

It was a similar story after the break as Bridgwater could not find a way past the well organised and hard-working visitors.

Indeed, Wellington almost made it 2-0 after 82 minutes as sub Douglas Camilo was denied by a great block from Smith.

Bridgwater’s frustration boiled over in the closing minutes when striker Owen Howe was shown a red card for a late challenge on keeper Greg McAndrews.

But United kept pressing for an equaliser and thought they had got it in the seventh minute of injury time as they finally beat McAndrews only for young defender Jake Haggerty to produce a magnificent clearance to prevent the ball crossing the line.

It was Wellington’s first win of the season after a string of away matches.

The Tangerines are without a fixture this coming weekend and will be looking forward to finally getting their home games under way on September 6th when Helston Athletic visit the Playing Field.
