Toolstation League division one: Shepton Mallet 1, Wellington 2.
NEWLY-CROWNED division one champions Wellington finished the club's most successful ever campaign with league win number 27 at Shepton on Saturday.
And immediately after the final whistle, skipper Simon Ingram was presented with the trophy by Toolstation vice-chairman John Pool and the squad - including manager Leigh Robinson - received their medals.

Wellington had thumped Shepton 12-1 at the Playing Field back in March and were given a much sterner test in the return game.
They went ahead after ten minutes when Alex Pounde span off his marker in typical style and pulled the ball back for Woon to make no mistake.
But playing down their sloping pitch, Shepton equalised midway through the first half as the ball was chipped over the visitors' defence and Haydn Alkins burst forward to drive past keeper Ryan Lewis.
Chances were few and far between in an often scrappy game but Wellington sealed the points just before half-time as their two leading scorers combined for what proved to be the winner.
Woon found Ingram just outside the area and he cut inside before sending a spectacular shot flying into the top corner, giving keeper Owen Dunn no chance.
The second half was something of a non-event although Woon's late departure allowed Wellington's assistant manager Danny Phillips to make a cameo appearance.
Wellington: Ryan Lewis, Craig Mawford, Daniel Short, Scott Holland, Jack Adams, Jon Crowford, Simon Ingram, Andy Butler, Craig Herrod, Nick Woon, Alex Pounde. Substitutes, Graham Burne and Danny Phillips (used), Wayne Hitchcott (not used).
