WCC League Season Review 2005

September 18, 2005 David Derrick

Analysis of the final Somerset Cricket League tables with respect to Wellington CC reveals that the club’s two league sides achieved good finishes overall in the 2005 season.

The 1st XI, who play in Division One of the league’s 1st XI competition (final table below) were virtually unbreachable at home – they lost their first home match with Chew Magna on 14th May and were not beaten again all season at Courtland Road – seven wins and a tie followed.

Contrast this with an away record of only one win (at Chew Magna on 16th July) and the Red and Blacks fifth position is explained by a season which had a certain symmetry – one home loss contrasted with only one away win – making for a fifth place (i.e. half way) finish.

Butleigh 2nd XI 221-6 – Wellington 2nd XI 222-6

September 3, 2005 David Derrick

This was a high scoring game in Division Two of the Somerset League’s Reserves competition at Courtland Road last Saturday. Wellington 2nd XI prevailed and with it, scuppered Butleigh 2nd XI’s real hopes of promotion to Division One of the Reserves competition, as they needed a win to stay above promotion rivals Staplegrove.

Butleigh opted to take first knock on a green wicket and were aided by some wayward Wellington bowling as 16 wides were delivered – this had a major effect on the outcome of the game as it turned out.
