Wellington Sunday XI 259-5 Taunton St Andrews Sunday XI 263-4

Monday, September 12th, 2011

Although losing out by six wickets in a high scoring match Wellington Sunday XI secured the runners up spot in Division A of the Taunton and District Sunday League to make it two honours in the two seasons that the League has been running for; with 126 points from their eight games Paul Short’s side were just three points behind Chard, who retained their crown and despite the win Taunton St Andrews are to play in Division B next season after finishing bottom.

Wellington were put into bat last Saturday and saw Paul Short and Max Capaldi race away and have 50 on the board in no time as both pounced on the overpitched ball well; Capaldi had made 17 when Brice (2-26 in 7) bowled him with one that nipped back.

Short was closing on a half century having driven the ball well, but he went for a sweep against T.Poole and was bowled for 38 and at 70-3 Wellington were in need of some steadying – it came through the excellent fourth wicket stand of 92 between Alex Sparks and Charlie Davies – Davies made 37 solid runs and was only undone by the excellent left arm spin of Contreras, Sparks cracked a splendid 101no with four mighty sixes and his unbeaten 77 run stand with George Hooper (28no) took the Red and Blacks to 259-5 at tea.

Taunton St Andrews could not avoid going down even if they won as they needed every point on offer and their collection of just two bowling points confirmed their fate, but they were in no mood to go down without a real fight and Alley and J.Poole with a 146 opening wicket stand won the match in the first twenty overs of their reply with Alley making 100 with some fine shots to boot; Max Capaldi ended the fun when he trapped him LBW. Poole had made 36 when he was bowled by Paul Short.

The run rate slowed up and in the end TSA only won with ten balls to spare as Contreras with 56no and L.Poole with 33no saw them home, but they deserved to win given their start; TSA took 19 points and Wellington 12 and in the end saw very different outcomes to their Sunday League seasons.

Although Bridgwater overwhelmed Chard on the Sunday their lack of five junior players and not bowling Chard out worked for Wellington in that they only claimed 22 points and so ended the season two points behind the Red and Blacks in third place.
