Bagborough Sunday XI 129 – Wellington Sunday XI 131-2
The Sunday XI made it a full house for the Red and Blacks when they beat Somerset League Division Four side Bagborough at home and again there were some fine performances to reflect on.
Bagborough opted to bat first and Wellington were a little wayward early on, but George Coate and Guy Murray got their line and length sorted and bowled better spells as time wore on.
Both claimed a wicket as Wellington made some good initial breakthroughs.
Charlie Last took up the attack and bowled a tidy six over spell that only lacked a wicket to round it off.
Grant Davey bowled with good pace and variety and 2-25 in 7 overs was a good return for him.
Richard Short with 4-22 and Thom Trott with 1-7 rounded things off for Wellington as Bagborough were despatched for 129 in 35.3 overs.
Bagborough had occupied the crease, but had not scored at any great rate, Hooper with 23 was their top scorer.
Wellington were soon into their strides as they chased down 130 to win as Kevin Crout carried on as he had left off for the 2nd XI the day before, he made a quickfire 18 this time.
At 25-2 Wellington needed to get back on track and this was done successfully by Julian Smit with 72no and Chris Kitto with 30no as they added an unbroken 106 for the third wicket that carried Wellington to an emphatic eight wicket win.
