Wellington Cricket Club

The Journeymen recorded their first win over Wellington since 2001 when they won by six wickets last Monday afternoon with only two balls to spare as Wellington pulled things back well following a barren first hour in the field before the last twenty overs were called.
Rob Moysey with 93 marshalled the Wellington innings and was supported by opening partner Julian Jones who made 31 in a 63 run opening stand.
Julian Smit with 34 aided Moysey to continue the Wellington innings in the way that it had started.
Dave Hewitt, back from his teaching post in Lancashire, showed all the quality that he has shown with the bat down the years as he made 32. All the time Moysey was bearing down on a ton, but he was denied it by just seven runs as Wellington rattled up 210-6 at tea.

Bloch and Jeffrey added 77 in 13 overs at the start of The Journeymen’s innings as Wellington’s bowling was not accurate enough at times.
A good breakthrough was gained through Ben Green who induced Jeffrey to loop one to Tom Baycock at mid-on and the first wicket was down.
Green was unlucky to sustain two cracks on the leg during the innings and had to leave the field of play each time for ice treatment.
The last time The Journeymen won at Wellington Bloch hit an unbeaten ton and he did so again, making a fine 114 before having to retire with a hamstring strain.
Wellington had fought their way back into the game through Rob Moysey getting two stumpings courtesy of Julian Jones and the last over dawned with four still needed by The Journeymen.
It should never really have got this close, but Rupert Green was equal to the task as he delivered three dot balls that Hayes tried to smash to the boundary and the pressure was building, but Hayes swung hard to leg and got enough on the ball to squirt it through the closely-packed Wellington infield and give The Journeymen a six wicket win.
