Wellington well and truly got the monkey that manifests itself as an away match at Evercreech off their backs as they crushed the home side by six wickets in this Somerset League Division One match with some sixteen overs left to win there for only the second time in sixteen years.

Evercreech opted to bat first and the usual trend of such matches was there to see as Chinnock cracked 36 in just 26 balls, but a canny spell from Kevin Symons who delivered 12 overs straight off saw that this energetic start was not to last for Evercreech.
Simon Rudd’s shy at one stump ran out Davis and Symons then trapped Chinnock LBW.
Ingram fenced at one and when Harding too was adjudged LBW and at 67-4 the home side were subsiding, much like the pitch this match was played on.
Agutter with a fine knock of 44 held Evercreech together a best he could, but Rob Moysey (2-30) and Gary Tillett (3-33) joined forces to make a potent spin combo and they took five wickets between them.
Moysey found his line and length and made several balls spit and pop and was a handful not only for the Evercreech batsmen, but also for Wellington keeper Sam Cook who deserves a mention for keeping well on a poor playing surface.
At 134-9 with nine overs to go Wellington were looking forward to a break from fielding in conditions that bordered on 90degF, but Atkinson and M.Ough had other ideas and they added 59 last wicket runs for Evercreech as they showed their higher-order colleagues how it should be done.
Wellington closed the innings out on the last ball of the 45 overs.
Simon Rudd took the other wicket to fall.

Wellington made a mockery of the troubles and tribulations that this fixture has given them down the years as they chased down the 194 needed in under 30 overs and what was really nice was that all who batted made a telling contribution to the overall Wellington effort.
Rob Moysey and Mark Salter left the result in no doubt as they added 79 for the first wicket in under 10 overs.
Their run feast was halted when Salter cut uppishly to backward point for 40.
Moysey was done by a grubber for 38.
Alex Sparks played a wristy innings of 30 that saw him play well all around the park and Julian Smit applied the final burst with a high-octane 46 with two large sixes.
Mark Saunders and Thom Trott were at the crease when the winning runs were hit and Wellington had won by 6.30pm and took 35 points to Evercreech’s 13 and go up to fourth in the table.
