Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Callum Sutton

17 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Team Wellington lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

A fracture rules Cameron Van Hattum out for 59 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Team Wellington will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings

Both of them Stefan Waine's — 8.38

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.38, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Match

Team Wellington are in among the leaders

Position 3 and 7 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Market

Chris Stamatelopoulos has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Team Wellington they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Tempers go at Team Wellington

Stefan Waine was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Callum Sutton

24 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Team Wellington lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings

Stefan Waine runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 34. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

A fracture rules Cameron Van Hattum out for 66 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Team Wellington will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings

Kosta Payne scores twice — 8.03

Two goals and a mark of 8.03 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad

Stefan Waine in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Team Wellington this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Team Wellington find a way past Southern United

Southern United made Team Wellington work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.
