FA VASE PREVIEW: WELLINGTON AMATEURS v RACING CLUB WARWICK...

FA Vase 2nd Qualifying Round:

Wellington Amateurs v Racing Club Warwick: 

A Preview…

Wellington currently lie 13th in the West Midlands Regional League Division 1, having played 5 league matches, winning 2 and losing 3.

Their goal difference is +3 however, due to rapping in five goals in both their first and fifth matches. A 5-1 victory over Bustlehome was followed by three defeats: 2-1 at Worcester Raiders, 0-1 at home to Darlaston (1874) and 1-0 at Wyrley, before a 5-3 win, getting back from 1-3 down v Willenhall last Saturday steadied the ship.

The club’s owner, Dave Gregory sadly died last Friday and so this FA Vase tie will be dedicated to his memory. He had been at the club since 1962, being there when it moved to its current site, School Grove, now called the Fortis Stadium.
