Ivybridge began brightly in difficult conditions at Wellington, where the pitch survived a morning inspection after the recent heavy rain.

Wellington scored on the stroke of half time with James De Selincourt heading the opening goal from a corner kick taken by Sam Towler.

Johnson went close to equalising for Ivybridge at the start of the second half, but then some slack defensive work allowed Wellington to add two more goals through Douglas Camilo and Towler in the 62nd and 66th minutes.
