Wellington Under 13’s breezed in to the County Cup Quarter Finals with an emphatic 6 wicket win at Wembdon on Sunday morning.

Ben Wardell had no hesitation in inserting the hosts on winning the toss and a great opening burst from Olly Hunt and Tom Shannon saw both openers back in the Hutch and when ‘keeper for the day Ben Eve’s quick thinking saw a stumping remove Wembdon’s 3^rd batsman the home side were really struggling.

Wickets continued to tumble and only a late flurry from Jewson, who finished on 18 no and some assistance from the visiting bowlers, who contributed 24 extras, saw a total of 62 posted.

Wellington got off to the worst possible start with last week’s batting star Ben White, removed 1^st ball and when James Drohan was run out without scoring, the target looked a long way off.

Olly Hunt arrived at the crease to steady the ship and when he was joined by Ben Wardell they put a stand together that took them to within sight of victory and when Wardell departed Ben Eve joined Hunt to see the boys home with over 7 overs to spare.

The games now come thick and fast with Wembdon making the opposite journey for a league fixture next Sunday (29^th May) and now a County Cup Quarter Final to play at the Playing Fields on Tuesday 31^st May where the visitors will be either Long Sutton or Brompton Ralph.
