Although suffering another Somerset League Division Four defeat Wellington 2nd XI can take a lot of pride in their attempt to chase down the 246 needed to win at home to Crewkerne last weekend.

Getting put in and finding themselves at 17-2 was not the sort of start that was desired, but Aks Latifi with 22 got things going in the right direction until he was third out at 59. Mark Bray played a superlative knock of 82 that was what bonded the Wellington innings
