On a wet Saturday morning, our U10s squad travelled to Bridgwater to take on VPR in a series of four highly competitive matches.
Despite the tough opposition, the Wellington team rose to the occasion, showcasing their exceptional passing game and teamwork to secure two wins and two draws.
Wellington’s players demonstrated a fantastic understanding of the game, effortlessly switching the play to open up the opposition’s defence.
Every member of the team played their part in Wellington’s lovely, flowing football, which was a joy to watch.
Over the course of the four matches, Wellington scored an impressive nine goals, while conceding seven. The goalscorers for the day were Rex Beatty (two), Jack Jorge (two), Louis Molloy (two), Albie Bryant, Oakley Stamp, and Harry Griffiths, who netted his first goal for the club.
The entire Wellington squad deserve praise for their outstanding performance, which exemplified the team’s spirit and determination.
The players should be proud of their achievements, and the club would like to extend a special thank you to Roadchef for sponsoring the playing kit and R&M Car Sales for sponsoring the jackets.

Our U12s Town side’s impressive unbeaten start to the season came to an abrupt halt with a 6-3 defeat in a tough match away to Huish Tigers.
The home team attacked from the first whistle, putting Wellington under constant pressure.
Huish Tigers left midfielder was a standout performer, causing problems throughout the game, and Wellingtons defence struggled to contain him.
Despite the loss, there were moments of brilliance. Freddie Andrews got on the scoresheet, while Theo Windsor added a second goal to keep the team in the fight.
The highlight of the match came from Mason Talbot, who smashed in his first goal for Wellington with a spectacular 20-yard volley.
Although their unbeaten run has ended, the team will look to bounce back and take the lessons from this game into their next fixture in the cup on Saturday.
