Les Phillips Cup preliminary round: Wellington 3, Radstock 1 (after extra time).

WELLINGTON boss Leigh Robinson has set his sights on following the title-winning 2007-08 season by winning the Les Phillips Cup.

And their extra-time victory over premier division rivals Radstock at the Playing Field yesterday saw them earn a tie away to division one Clevedon United in the next round.

Radstock went into the game in the top three of the division but in a match packed with chances, only poor finishing prevented Wellington from following their 7-1 thrashing of Corsham with another convincing win.

Both sides created openings in the first half but it was Wellington who broke the deadlock after 43 minutes as Jon Crowford’s cross was missed by keeper Amin Jones and went in off Scott Holland, pushed up from defence to midfield for the game.

Wellington lost Andy Robertson to a hamstring injury at half time and he was replaced by Mark Thompson who has rejoined the club after making several appearances last season.

Robinson’s side continued to hold the upper hand but it was Radstock who got the all important equaliser with 15 minutes remaining as the ball was slipped through to Clinton Wilson, who calmly slipped it under keeper Ryan Lewis.

Wellington pressed for the winner with Shane Kingston – their five-goal hero at Corsham – coming closest with a shot, which hit the outside of the post.

The home side completely dominated extra-time and duly wrapped up a deserved victory with two more goals.

Thompson marked his return by scrambling a Simon Ingram corner over the line after 100 minutes.

And right at the death Craig Herrod capped an outstanding display on the left wing, by pouncing on some slack play to score with a rising drive into the far top corner of the net.

Wellington: Ryan Lewis, Craig Mawford, Andy Robertson, Daniel Short, Jack Adams, Jon Crowford, Simon Ingram, Scott Holland, Craig Herrod, Shane Kingston, Darren Stone. Substitutes, Mark Thompson, Aaron Deeks and Luke Desave (all used).
