Rain delayed the start of Wellington’s visit to Somerset League Division One leaders Minehead by 90 minutes and thus lopped 20 overs off the game and it became a 35 over a side affair.
Rob Moysey won the toss and opted to bat first and it was he and Mark Salter who gave their team a good start with a fifty run opening partnership.
Salter made a solid 22 before he became the first to fall as he was caught off of Graddon’s brisk medium pace.
Richard Das Neves joined his captain and they proceeded to add 63 good second wicket runs for Wellington as both these players made it into the forties before departing within the space of one run of each other.
Moysey was run out for 46 – a good hand from Wellington’s skipper and Das Neves was trapped LBW for 40.
With overs running out Wellington’s middle order made it past 150 with Thom Trott unbeaten on 21no and Stuart Currall making 16.
For Minehead their best bowler was Sully with 3-36.

A great run out on the turn by Mark Saunders accounted for Stevens and this set Wellington buzzing in the field, but this early momentum was sapped away as Cameron and Tudball added 123 in quick time for the home side.
Tudball made 44 before he became Rob Moysey’s first of two victims.
This was a good breakthrough by Wellington’s skipper, but Minehead were ahead of the game and with the weather closing in again they had made sure that their run rate was fast enough to obviate anything that the elements might have done.
Minehead won in 25.3 overs and took 30 points to Wellington’s 11.
Ilton’s win over Butleigh means that Minehead lost top spot in the division despite this six wicket win.
Wellington stay in a comfortable mid-table position and now host Ilton this Saturday in what will be another top fixture at Wellington Playing Field.
