Langport Sunday XI 183-8 Wellington Sunday XI 184-7

Wellington Sunday XI wrapped up the 2011 season and made it a good weekend for themselves as they added a three wicket win over Somerset League Division Three side Langport to their second placed league finish.

Max Capaldi took charge of a Wellington side for the first time and won a good toss to win and asked the home side to bat first; Adrian Lee and George Hooper opened up for Wellington and kept Langport openers P.Chalmers and Hawkins in check with Hooper producing a great bouncer to remove Hawkins as he went for the hook.

Aaron Chugg and Will Hinchcliffe joined the attack and kept the middle portion of the Langport innings calm as Hinchcliffe’s left arm medium pace took 2-21 in six overs.

Alex Troake bowled his leg spin well and was rewarded with one wicket as all the Wellington outfield players had a bowl; James Bath took two wickets and skipper Capaldi took the last one to fall as Langport made 183-8 helped by late offerings of 30 from Cox and 33 from Shillabeer.

Aks Latifi smote two more sixes in making 48 as he and James Bath got Wellington’s reply going with a 42 run stand; Scott Davey and George Hooper made two good middle order knocks of 15 and 10 as Wellington kept up with the rate, but lost wickets too – things were settled by Max Capaldi with 28 and Alex Sparks with 37no and it was left to Sparks and Aaron Chugg to bring up a Wellington win by three wickets and have plenty of overs to spare.
