WELLINGTON and Wiveliscombe fought out a 14-14 draw in front of a 2,000-plus crowd in their annual Boxing Day game at the Athletic Ground this afternoon.

Played in foggy and damp conditions, Wiveliscombe looked the more likely side to win the match in fading light towards the end - but missed three penalties in the last ten minutes, one of them just missing.

Earlier in the day, Wiveliscombe beat Wellington 17-12 in the 2nd XV fixture at Beech Grove - which was also watched by a big crowd.
