When Wellington reduced Street to 27-6 with Tom Trott having taken five wickets on a real bowler’s paradise an early tea looked on the cards.Trott bowled with real venom and aggression and with improved fielding he reaped some rewards.

Guy Murray took a fine overhead catch to remove J.Linter and Trott yorked W.Wall with a dipping leg-stump delivery.Denis Fullstone stooped to accept an edge from Gerrard and when Alec Short pouched J.Linter Street were in all sorts of trouble. Guy Murray’s wicket, courtesy of Adrian Lee’s diving effort, gave the promising junior player a deserved wicket as he claimed 1-32 in six overs.

But Street rallied as D.Wall with 37 and keeper Eades with 33 added a telling 79 for the 7th wicket. This merry spree was ended when David Derrick threw down the stumps at the bowler’s end, thus removing Eades. Tom Trott returned to wrap up the tail to return career best figures of 9.1-3-13-7 and Street had been despatched for 113 some twenty minutes before tea.

Rob Moysey and Alec Short put on 36 for Wellington’s first wicket before the rot set in for a second successive week.
Bartlett set about dismantling the Wellington line up as he took 4-12 in 12.5 overs.

Only Moysey with an brilliant 48 did anything meritable with the bat, but when he was at the crease Wellington were creeping closer to the required total as Guy Murray gave Moysey good support from his number 10, but when Moysey was run out the end was nigh for Wellington and they were all out just one ball later to lose by 34 runs as Street won at Courtland Road for the first time in friendly competition since June 1999.
