CHARD Town gained an impressive 1-0 victory over Wellington last night to jump above them in the Toolstation league, first division table.

The decisive goal came in the 15th minute when George Chlopecki nodded a free kick back across goal and centre half Shaun Wells-Burr nodded home from close range.

Manager Adam Fricker said: "The lads were fantastic. Wellington were decent from set pieces but we defended solidly all game and keeper Scott-Wells Burr didn't have a shot to save all game.

"In the second half they were pressing up the hill but we remained resolute and might have added another couple on the break."
