A slow and low pitch saw a low scoring game in Division Seven South of the Somerset League at Ilminster last Saturday when Wellington 3rd XI did not make the runs they would have liked, but they did keep the hosts chase going into the last ten overs as they fought back well in the field.

After been put into bat Wellington found themselves at 6-2, but Andy Hurry, who top scored with 29, and Jacob Hurry went about a good third wicket stand that was ended when Jacob was out caught for 11.

Skipper Des Campbell with 12 made runs in the middle order and at 54-3 if the Red and Blacks third string could get another hundred runs then they would have a really competitive total on a track that was not easy to bat on at all.

However a total score of 88 was realised as Langridge with 3-13 in seven overs and A.Horne with 2-8 in six overs saw Wellington were out with five overs going unused although Dave Luxton was resolute in making 10no at the end.

Wellington went with spin and seam when it came to their turn to bowl and Alex Derbridge bowled his off spin well as did Tyler Fyfe when it came to his left arm seam.

Des Campbell bowled well to take 2-20 in eight overs as he found himself on a hat-trick and when Ilminster dipped from 40-0 to 46-4 Wellington had a glimmer of hope, but home team captain Warry carried his bat for 35no and A.Horne completed a good game with 22no to see the hosts home by six wickets.
