Wellington Sunday XI added to the good start to the season the Club is enjoying in 2010 with a second win in two matches in Division B of the Taunton and District Sunday League at home last weekend when they beat North Petherton by 43 runs to secure a full 25 points from the game.
 
A quirk of the fixture list saw that Petherton played at Wellington twice in 24 hours with the respective 1st XIs having played the day before and this time it was North Petherton who started best as they reduced Wellington to 39-4 with T.Smith and Gudge doing much with the ball as well as keeping things tight for the visitors.
 
This was the cue for Rob Moysey and Tobi Jenkins to add 112 for the fifth wicket in fine style as Moysey showed all his qualities in anchoring the Wellington innings with a great knock of 67 that ensured the Red and Blacks recovered from their poor start, Jenkins was in swashbuckling form as he cracked 61, his debut half-century for Wellington, as he hit the ball with power and force when he could, but was also respectful when a good ball was bowled and this was a great knock to have had on offer from Wellington’s point of view.
 
Aks Latifi with 24, skipper Paul Short with 10 and others in the lower order got Wellington to 205 all out in the last over with Bunce following up his fine 12 over spell the day before with 4-32 in 7 overs this time round as North Petherton took full bowling points.
 
Through Roberston and Revans North Petherton added 53 solid opening partnership runs, but through Paul Short and Michael Gill they lost three wickets on that score for no addition as Wellington fought back into the game.
 
Alex Troake bowled well, getting the big wicket of O.Irish, who had made a fifty the day before in the 1st XI match for a duck, and generally using good flight to draw the batsman forward and then posing questions to get 2-39 in seven good overs.
 
Aaron Chugg enjoyed a couple of good spells as he pitched the ball up and let little go – 0-24 in 7 overs was good work from him and his medium pace.
 
At 83-7 North Petherton seemed well out of the game, but Bunce carried on his good weekend for his side at Courtland Road as he crafted 69no and always kept Petherton interested and Wellington wary, but Rob Moysey with 3-20 saw that the game was settled with an over to go and saw that Wellington took a full points allocation from the game and look forward to trying to make it three in three next Sunday when North Curry visit Courtland Road from 2.00pm.
