Supporters of the Wellington and Cullompton rugby teams can look forward to an exciting weekend as the two sides prepare to face off for the third time this season in the Papa Johns KO Cup. The highly anticipated match is scheduled to take place at the Athletic Ground in Wellington this afternoon at 3 p.m.
The fierce rivalry between the two teams has been palpable, with Cullompton securing a resounding victory in their first encounter this winter with a score of 44-10 on their home turf. However, Wellington managed to clinch a hard-fought 10-5 win on their home ground in February, setting the stage for an enthralling and closely contested match as both teams vie for supremacy.
Despite their past successes, Wellington is eager to redeem themselves following a disappointing performance last week, where they suffered a 26-15 defeat at the hands of bottom club Burnham on Sea in a league match. The absence of their influential captain, Danny Lee, due to a hand injury has posed a setback for the team. Nevertheless, Wellington is expected to emerge stronger and more determined for the upcoming clash.
The stakes are significantly high, as the winners of this match will proceed to face either Wadebridge Camels or Truro in the next round of the tournament. With so much riding on the outcome, both teams are undoubtedly poised to give their utmost efforts to secure a victory.
