Stitch2Print Devon & Exeter League premier division: Wellington Reserves 2, St Martins 1

Our Reserves made it three home wins in eight days – and moved up into second spot – as they saw off the challenge of in-form St Martins at the Carly Press Ground last night (Wednesday).

It was a hard-fought performance as they held firm in a difficult game and came off narrow winners with goals from Jack Bryant and Ben Evett.

Player of the match Sam Poole is pictured with Ken Pearson who sponsored the game with his wife Gill.

Wellington are now six points behind leaders Upottery – the sides drew 1-1 last month – with four games to play.
