Wellington lost a dramatic high octane game of indoor cricket at Wellington School last Sunday when Stogumber – who will be one of their Somerset League opponents in 2011 – got home by one wicket and with one ball to spare.

Paul Short and Neil Hendy got Wellington’s innings underway well before Short was run out leaving Hendy who retired and came back to be the backbone of the Wellington innings; Richard Henwood made good runs as did Thom Trott and latterly Aks Latifi and Sam Murdock got Wellington to 91-5 in ten overs; maybe ten or so short of where Wellington would have liked to be ideally.

Stogumber lost wickets early as Neil Hendy claimed two wickets in his first over with a run out and an LBW shout going for Wellington and Richard Henwood probed the right lines, but all the time Weetch was getting going for Stogumber and he held his side together – Sam Murdock claimed two wickets including that of Weetch, but the last over went the way of Stogumber as some kitchen sink style shots got them over the line – just.

Wellington took nine points and are next in action on Sunday 31st October at 2.30pm against Blagdon Hill – remember the clocks go back on that date!
