Wellington cantered into the Baker Cup Quarter-Finals and set up a home clash with WECCC (Somerset Division) side Bishops Lydeard on Monday 24th May by thrashing Brompton Ralph by nine wickets last Monday evening as all worked out well for the Red and Blacks.

Brompton Ralph – from the West Somerset League – opted to bat first and they got away well as Poole and Gill added 34 for the first wicket before Adrian Lee and Tom Trott pegged them back.
Lee induced Gill to try one big shot too many and he skied to Paul Saunders who held onto a good chance. Trott got rid of Poole as Stuart Currall pouched another excellent chance close in.

This pair gave way to Simon Rudd and Gary Tillett who kept up the pressure and as Brompton Ralph had to up the rate wickets tumbled. Rudd found himself on a hat-trick and collected 3-31 in his 5 overs. Tillett bowled with immaculate control as his figures of 2-14 in 5 overs show.
Brompton Ralph had limped to 91-8 in 20 overs.

Wellington batted with authority and no little skill as Rob Moysey and Mark Salter added 49 for the first wicket with Salter (22) crashing the ball behind square when fast bowler T.Gilbert pitched short, and Moysey carrying his bat for 37no as he gained in confidence while his innings developed.

Stuart Currall made 27no in 30 balls in trademark style as Wellington romped home with wickets and overs to spare to set up a quarter-final meeting with Bishops Lydeard on Monday 24th May. Team will be advised and this game starts at 6.15pm prompt.
