Wellington Sunday XI completed both theirs and the Club’s season with their first ever Sunday defeat at Langport following seven successive wins at Field Road, but that did not dampen a successful season all round for the side in both league and friendly competition.
 
Wellington skipper Steve Symons opted to bat first and was rewarded with a fine opening stand of 71 between Trevor Brooks and Rob Moysey who laid into the short ball well as the Langport attack continually dug the ball in or overpitched and this gave Wellington many run scoring opportunities and they were taken.
 
Moysey was first out to a great caught and bowled effort from P.Chalmers who was good value with the ball as he went for just 27 runs in eight overs.
 
Aks Latifi joined Brooks – who by now had made it to and past 50 – and he thundered four more sixes in a knock of 44 that took Wellington towards 150 with only one down, but when Latifi was caught at square leg Wellington’s innings fell away as they were bowled out for 169 with an over left – Brooks made a fine 74, but only Will Hinchcliffe with 14 made an impression after that as Buchanan and Strang each took three wickets for Langport.
 
Sam Murdock got rid of Grimstead early on when he chopped one on to his stumps and George Coate trapped J.Brookham LBW to make Langport 43-2, but Crossley, who had made a ton against Wellington 2nd XI back in July, made a fine 81 not out and with Paul (44) and P.Chalmers (17no) saw Langport to only their second Sunday win over Wellington in eight seasons.
 
There was a wicket for Sam Baycock, but Langport got home with overs and wickets to spare and took the honours on the day.
 
The two record breakers who set new standards last weekend – Rob Moysey and Aks Latifi – ended with 86 wickets and 39 sixes respectively all told and these are new Club records for a season’s performance; well done to both players.
