Wellington are up to fourth in the Somerset Division of the West of England Premier League courtesy of this excellent home win over Street last Saturday as they saw off one of the sides who were promoted with them at the end of last season by some 82 runs and so collected 20 points for their efforts.

Choosing to bat on winning the toss saw Tom Chambers and Neil Hendy post an outstanding opening stand of 123 as Chambers hit 77 in 79 balls with fourteen fours and Hendy hit a capital 94 in 146 balls with fourteen fours too and a six to boot.

Run scoring at a good rate continued as Wellington batted into the fiftieth and final over of their innings with Jack Beal striking 19 as the Red and Blacks totalled 249 in 49.4 overs with Evely’s 4-53 in 9.4 overs been Street’s best offering with the ball.

Luke Desave was exemplary in taking 4-33 in ten overs and this put Street under pressure from the off as they fell to 42-4.

Wood with 34 and Peters with 30 each made a start, but did not go on with it to the extent that was needed as Rob Moysey’s wrist spin and Arron Campbell’s finger spin saw twenty overs delivered between them for a combined cost of just 42 runs.

This was accuracy personified.

Jack Beal with 3-28 in seven overs came back for a second spell and along with Lewis Sparks saw off the Street innings for 157 with four overs going unused.

This was a third win in a row for a side who are in confident mood in both forms of the game in which they are involved at the moment.
