WELLINGTON Reserves will play at least three of their last four matches - which are all at home - at Hemyock.

The Reserves, bossed by Nick Buttle, are unbeaten in their last 14 matches in Division One of the Devon & Exeter League and chasing promotion.

"We need to protect the pitch at the Playing Field for first team football," said Buttle this week. "It was only right we find somewhere else to play."

The Reserves are due to play Bow Amateur Athletic at Hemyock on Saturday and will be looking to avenge a 4-2 defeat away in December - one of only three losses for the Reserves this season.

On Bank Holiday Monday they play Teignmouth who held them to a 1-1 away draw in December.

They play title rivals Winkleigh on Saturday, April 22, while the Beer Albion game has been rearranged for Wednesday, April 26, with the venue to be announced.

Wellington's first team are facing a pile-up of fixtures and club secretary Jeff Brown admitted: "These are trying times. You think you have the fixtures all sorted and then you get another postponement because of the bad weather."

The only senior men's team able to play last weekend were the A side who played at North Petherton in the Premier Division of the Britannia Lanes Taunton Saturday League.

They are due to play at home to fellow strugglers Minehead Reserves on Saturday, with both sides in the bottom two places.
