Baker Cup Shield Semi-Final – 1st XI

The 1st XI – following their win over Fitzhead on Tuesday 26th May – will play the winners of the Ashbrittle and Watchet tie in the semi-finals of the Baker Cup Shield (Terry Mockridge Memorial Shield). If Ashbrittle are victorious then we will travel to Appley Cross and if Watchet are the winners we will be the hosts as Watchet are barred from playing home fixtures as they are outside of the radius of the Competition’s geographical limit.

Newington 149-8 Wellington Midweek XI 145-8

Wellington Midweek XI so very nearly pulled off a great win over Kent touring side Newington on Friday evening when they lost by four runs in a pulsating 20/20 match. Rowan Varkevisser – who was to play a prominent role with the bat later in the game – got rid of Edwards for 13 before a second-wicket stand of 94 between Khan (45) and Overbury (50) got the tourists to 117-1 before some of Wellington’s younger players got in on

Wellington 2nd XI 81 Chard 2nd XI 84-0

Wellington 2nd XI were despatched by league leaders Chard to the tune of ten wickets last weekend as the home side made it four maximum point wins out of four in Division One of the Somerset League Reserves competition and sent the Red and Blacks second string to ninth place in the division.
