Wellington scored a fine win at Wembdon last Saturday afternoon in the WEPL COVID Playing Bubble C as Arron Campbell’s team came away with a five wicket win with over two overs to spare after chasing down the 172 they needed to win and so collected two points.

Wembdon chose to bat first and saw Puddy go at the ball hard and he did look very dangerous when he carted a huge six as part of 16 runs he took off one over, but Jack Beal induced him to play on.

His fellow opener, former Wellington player Tom Brooks, was well caught behind by Callum Hendy off of Luke Desave.

Sourati with 28 played a good hand in the middle order, but after he was run out in a calamitous manner with his skipper Brockwell only Dickins with 31 and Pigden with 10 prospered for Wembdon who rather got into a muddle of how to play the last, say, ten overs of their innings as Neil Hendy with 5-30 in eight controlled and tidy overs broke the back of the Wembdon innings and with Arron Campbell letting just 32 runs go from his eight overs Wembdon made 171-9 in their allocated 40 over block.

Sam Whitefield and Nathan Roberts had 14 on the board for Wellington as they sought out the runs that they needed before Roberts was caught at short cover.

Alex Sparks joined Whitefield and they took the score to 59 before Whitefield was adjudged LBW for 20 and Sparks then fell next ball in the same way for 22 and at 59-3 Wellington had to consolidate.

Arron Campbell was joined by Callum Hendy and they took the score to 90 as the young left handed keeper/batsman made a colourful knock of 17.

Skipper Campbell was always building an innings and in the end his 42no was invaluable to and for his side as he was joined by both Luke Desave with 37 and Jack Beal with a match ending 16no who punished the bad ball when it came along.

For Wembdon Woolway with 2-37 in eight overs was their best bowler analysis wise.

Next time out in the WEPL COVID Playing Bubble C Wellington host WEPL Premier One side Bridgwater 1st XI who will be stocked to the rafters with some of the best Club players in the West Country, but this represents a tasty challenge for the Red and Blacks and the action gets under way at 12.30pm.
