Wellington were in some bother when the final game of the season was abandoned at Chard on Sunday as heavy rain swept in and flooded the square.

Chard had opted to bat on winning the toss and lost a wicket almost immediately as Adrian Lee bowled Clancy off of his pad as it deflected onto the stumps. Richard Short, playing his first game for exactly a year, bowled tidily at times, but Wellington were suffering at the hands of N.Crew who made a sparkling 73 before being well caught by Dan Addicott who flung himself far forward at square leg to remove a real dangerman.

This was off of Paul Short, who together with Rob Moysey, got through a mighty workload on the day. Between them they bowled 35 overs as Wellington sent down 48 by the time that the last wicket was taken.
Moysey claimed a five wicket bag taking 5-44 in 18 overs and Short 4-59 in 17. Chard were all out for 162 just before tea.

The rain was not far away and Wellington’s innings was conducted in heavy drizzle and they were reduced to 32-4 when stumps were drawn, the match abandoned as a draw.
