Toolstation League Premier Division: Wellington 1, Sherborne Town 1.
INJURY-RAVAGED Wellington made it four points out of a possible six over Easter with a lacklustre draw at home to Sherborne yesterday.
The match had a distinct end-of-season feel to it with Leigh Robinson’s side limping home at the end to earn a point.
Sherborne, promoted from the first division with Wellington last season, started more brightly but it was Wellington who took the lead against the run of play after 28 minutes.
The visitors made a hash of dealing with Craig Herrod’s low cross and striker Luke Desave pounced to smash the loose ball into the net.
In a disjointed game, it was little surprise that more slack defending was the cause of Sherborne’s equaliser four minutes before half-time.
Visiting skipper Steve Burton picked up a misplaced clearance to slip the ball through for Phil Ormrod to make no mistake.
Chances were few and far between in a scrappy second half, the best of them falling to Richard Parkinson, whose volley was brilliantly saved by keeper Ryan Lewis.
Wellington: Ryan Lewis, Graham Burne, Daniel Short, Scott Holland, Jack Adams, Jon Crowford, Simon Ingram, Andy Butler, Craig Herrod, Craig Mawford, Luke Desave. Subs: Mark Thompson, Shane Kingston (used).
