For the second week running Wellington 2nd XI were totally outclassed by the unbeaten top of the table Minehead.This was Wellingtons highest ever defeat and Bosley struck a flamboyant 147 not out and Azuradin captured 4 wickets in successive balls to leave the home sides reply in tatters.

Bob Trott, who won the toss, could not have anticipated the run feast that was to follow as the visitors struggled against the opening attack Unfortunately Adrian Lee was forced to retire after turning his ankle having conceded just a single from his first 4 overs. Chris Rudd, who replaced him, bowled a beauty with his first delivery to dismiss Swallow.In his next over he trapped Sully (9) LBW. Bob Trott then took a magnificent catch running backwards from mid off to remove Clark for 14. The visitors were reeling with the total at 38 for 3 in 14 overs.

Andy Hayes played cautiously at the start of his innings but later became aggressive, particularly on any ball pitched up.

However it was Bosley who changed the course of the game with some vigorous hitting -normally through the leg side or back over the bowler’s head. Most shots went the aerial route and his hard hitting brought about numerous fielding mistakes as the home teams heads went down. He reached his 50 with his second six and continued to take heavy toll of the Wellington bowling.

The score had reached 60 in the first 20 overs but the next 10 brought 69 followed by a further 100 in the next 10.Wellington conceded a further 59 from the last 5 overs as the Minehead batsmen scored at will. Hayes finally fell in the penultimate over as Barry Salter took a good catch at deep mid on off Rudd.His 90 was well constructed and he struck 9 fours and 4 sixes.

Bosley remained unbeaten on 147 having cracked 10 fours and a massive 9 sixes.

Roy Hutchings returned 12-2-37-1 and Chris Rudd took 3 for 87 from his 12 overs

Wellington lost their first wicket at 12 and the next 7 runs later. Azarudin then had an amazing 12 deliveries when he captured 6 Wellington wickets at a personal cost of only 5 runs to destroy the Wellington reply. He achieved a remarkable all bowled hat trick and then made in 4 wickets in 4 balls as the keeper accepted a chance. 3 balls later he picked up his 7th victim to reduce the home side to 24 for 7.

Kevin Crout (15) played on and Bob Trott (18) added 43 with the tail end before being brilliantly caught at point with the score at 60 in the twentieth over.

Azuradin returned excellent figures of 10-2-17-7 Barney took 1 for 21 and Hamblin 2 for 13

This was a disastrous performance by Wellington who were simply not in the same league as Minehead. The visitors took a maximum 35 points and Wellington just 7.
