Wellington had just about enough in the tank to hold on a for a narrow win over Sampford Arundel A in the SCCC Indoor League last Sunday afternoon as the Red and Blacks won their last league match of the 2005-2006 season by one wicket and so secured runners-up spot to champions Bridgwater in what was their best showing since winning the competition back in 1998-1999.

Sampford Arundel A batted first and maintained a healthy run-rate in the early stages of their innings despite Joe Hewton chasing a wide one and edging to Stuart Currall behind the stumps for seven to give Marc Holloway his first wicket of the afternoon. Ian Oliver started swiftly, but was bowled by Kevin Symons for ten as Symons bowled an excellent spell of 1-7 in 3 overs as he pulled Sampford Arundel A’s run rate back.

Wellington completed the indoor league double over Creechcombe last Sunday afternoon and with it gave themselves a chance of a ending the 2005-2006 winter season as runners-up if they were to overhaul local rivals Sampford Arundel A in their last match of the league season next Sunday afternoon.
