Wellington Cricket Club

Wellington had third placed Ilton in all sorts of trouble in this Somerset League Division One encounter with David Marshall and Kevin Symons doing all sorts in bowler friendly conditions after Rob Moysey had won the toss and opted to insert the opposition.
Ilton crumbled to the depths of 19-4 as Marshall and Symons reprised the sort of opening display that had accounted for Wedmore in the Red and Blacks last outing.
Marshall with 1-8 in 8 accurate overs removed N.Price through an Adrian Lee catch and good catching also benefited Symons as two from Thom Trott and one from Marc Holloway gave him 3-21 in 11.3 overs and had the unbeaten visitors in disarray.
Symons had three balls left in his spell when a rain storm drove the players from the ground for the sanctity of the pavilion and, although an early tea was taken, the umpires had no option but to call the game off and abandon proceedings as a draw.
Wellington collect 16 points from the match and Ilton 14 to retain fourth and third places respectively.
The bad weather saw only one other match actually get started in Wellington 1st XI’s division with Taunton Outcasts beating Purnells – all other matches were called off.

The match balls for this match were sponsored by Abbey Garage (SW) Ltd (01458 447147) and the team and club are most grateful to them for their support in this respect.
