Wellington took the lead early when Smiler scored, and there was an Increase when a bright, snappy movement resulted in Nlcholls finding the net. That was the position at the end of an interesting half, but It was quickly altered in the second spell with a rush which ended in Neate scoring Wellington's third goal.
