Wellington Cricket Club

All Sunday League fixtures are now on file and will be added to the friendly matches that are currently being arranged.

This aspect of the Club’s fixture schedule for 2010 will be issued soon.

Fixtures with Taunton St Andrews CC, North Petherton CC and North Newton CC have been arranged and are ‘on file’.

The only matches to arrange are with North Curry CC and they have been contacted to make such arrangements.

Following the draw that was made last evening we have been placed in Division B of the League along with North Curry CC, North Newton CC, North Petherton CC and Taunton St Andrews CC.

The draw was conducted on a totally random basis and has placed Bridgwater CC, Chard CC, Minehead CC, Street CC and Wembdon CC in Division A.

Fixture arrangements will now commence and when these are to hand they will be posted on this website.

Thanks to Steve Symons for his help.

The ten Clubs that will contest the inaugural Somerset County Sports Taunton and District Sunday Cricket League in 2010 are announced as being as follows,

Bridgwater CC, Chard CC, Minehead CC, North Curry CC, North Petherton CC, North Newton CC, Street CC, Taunton St Andrews CC, Wellington CC and Wembdon CC

A draw to place these ten Clubs into two divisions of five (thus making for eight fixtures per Club) will be made at Wellington Football Club on Saturday 24th October from 8.00pm.

This draw will be completely random in nature.

Congratulations to all award winners for the 2009 season who were presented with their trophies at the Dinner and Dance last weekend.

A formal press report and more photos of the event will be in the Wellington Weekly News dated Wednesday 28th October.

The new Sunday League venture is very nearly ready to be rolled out to the member Clubs who have signed up.

The format will be two divisions playing each other home and away and there is scope for a Finals Day to decide the overall League Champions.

As a Club we are at the forefront of this concept and have had a good amount of say and input to this throughout.

The League will bring much benefit to the Sunday XI directly and the Club overall with full details to be posted on this site next week when all matters have been brought together and signed-off.

The new Sunday League for the Taunton area was formally launched at a meeting held at SCCC on Wednesday 7th October.

We will be competing in the League next season and there is much to look forward to and to be gained from this new venture.

There are a few matters to tie up before full details are issued and a fuller announcement will be made when it is possible to do so.

The Managment Committee considered the matter of group transport to the Dinner and Dance on Saturday 17th October and decided not to pursue this matter.

Therefore those attending the event will need to make their own arrangements.

Therefore this year’s event will be held at Oake Manor Golf Club on Saturday 17th October with a 6.30pm for 7.00pm dinner arrangement.

Andrew Caddick is set to be the Guest of Honour.
