Wellington Sunday XI 234-7 – Honiton Sunday XI 101
The Sunday XI had a thumping win at Honiton when they ran out as victors by 133 runs against the East Devon League side in a match where all Wellington players played a part.
Rob Moysey and James Dyke got Wellington off to a good start as they added 48 runs with both playing well all round the wicket. Dyke had made 11 before he was bowled a brute of a delivery by Pulman that turned him round and a good slip catch was held by Tucker.
Wellington played well in patches, but as one stand got going it was ended and at 124-4 the magnitude of Wellington’s innings was uncertain, but Moysey was still there and he hit the first century of the season as he made a powerful 110 with some excellent shots all round the wicket, but the quality of Moysey’s pull shots was something to behold.
Kevin Symons with 31 gave the 1st XI skipper great support and Adrian Lee finished things off with a knock of 23no that saw the Wellington innings finish with two sixes.
Wellington closed on 234-7 in 40 overs.
Wellington’s bowling matched their batting as George Coate got the first breakthrough when Sam Cook accepted a chance behind the stumps to remove Pulman for a duck.
Austin, always looking ill at ease whilst at the crease, was snapped up by Coate who took 2-12 in 5 overs.
At the other end Grant Davey bowled quick, straight and with real hostility in his seven over burst and 1-25 doesn’t do him justice.
Adrian Lee with 4-24 snuffed out any chance of a Honiton win as he bowled his 8 overs on the reel.
Josh Hancock took a wicket with his first ball in senior cricket as he bowled a tidy four over burst and a catch came his way as well.
Andy Perry took two wickets to wrap matters up in 29.4 overs to give Wellington Sunday XI a good win.
