Jewson Western League premier division: Street 1, Wellington 2

Wellington bounced back from their FA Vase defeat by Penzance on Saturday with an excellent away win at Street last night (Tuesday).

Our scorers – James De Selincourt, left, and Josh Baker.

They had to come from behind to record their second victory of the season thanks to two goals in two second-half minutes from Josh Baker and James De Selincourt.

With chairman Mike Hall again in charge following the recent departure of manager Josh Stunell, the Tangerines made one change from the Vase starting 11 – De Selincourt coming in for Miles Quick.

They were on the back foot for most of the first half with Street hitting the woodwork twice and also seeing a ‘goal’ ruled out for handball.

Wellington kept it goalless until half-time, only for the hosts to take the lead four minutes after the restart when a corner was headed home with the visitors appealing, in vain, that keeper Jack McAndrews had been fouled.

Wellington picked up their game and stunned Street with a quickfire double strike around the hour mark, both created by wide man Alfie Slough.

First, he crossed low for Baker to produce a clinical finish, following up his goal against Penzance.

Almost immediately, Slough found De Selincourt who wriggled into space before coolly stroking the ball past keeper Liam Kingston.

That was the signal for Street to throw everything at Wellington for the rest of the game but the well-organised visitors defended valiantly to keep them at bay.

It was a fine team performance but special mention for two players who came on as sub – Daniel Conway, who only turned 16 recently, and Ryan Brereton, still getting back to full fitness after suffering a badly broken leg on the same ground 18 months earlier.

The Tangerines will be looking to build on the result when they host Paulton Rovers at the Carly Press Ground this Saturday.

Wellington: Jack McAndrews, Jack Alcock, Tom Stone, Jake Haggerty, Nathan Byrne, Cris Amponsah, Oscar Albano, Glen Wright, James De Selincourt, Alfie Slough, Josh Baker. Substitutes: Daniel Conway, Ryan Brereton (used); Josh Lukins, Miles Quick, Rob Hall (not used).
