Wellington Sunday XI 208-7 – Street Sunday XI 149

Wellington kept up their excellent record in this fixture with a sixth win in seven over the team from the Somerset Levels with this 59 run win last Sunday.
Wellington were put into bat and their score dipped to 42-4 in 15 overs as Higgs with 2-18 and Farrow with 2-24 did a good job for the home side as they bowled accurately and in a controlled fashion, but a fine 74 run sixth wicket stand between Matt Daniel and Thom Trott got Wellington back on track.

Trott made a fine 48 with two large hits for six off of leg-spinner Ganfield been the best offerings, but on his departure the score fell away once more to 126-7, but this was the moment for Daniel to make a superb 112no as he chose the right time to hit top gear and with Adrian Lee (20no) added 82 for the eighth wicket in only 10 overs as they wrested the game away from the home side after they had started well.

208-7 at tea represented a great show in the end by Wellington.

Lee then got to work with the ball as he and Charlie Last reduced Street to the depths of 10-4 before rain came and seemed to have given the home side a reprieve, on the resumption of play Linter with 53 and W.Wall with 29 added 83 for Street’s fifth wicket, but both were removed LBW by Thom Trott and Max Capaldi respectively.

Street skipper D.Wall kept Wellington at bay for seven overs as he lashed 26, but Charlie Last took his third wicket of the innings to seal victory for Wellington with 5.2 overs to spare and keep up their good Sunday record over the WEPL (Somerset Division) club.
