Wellington 2nd XI v Huntspill and District

Wellington 2nd XI’s re-scheduled Somerset League Division Four game with Huntspill and District that was postponed from earlier this month when the League allowed games set for Saturday 7th July to be given a new date ref England’s Football World Cup Quarter Final with Sweden if both sides agreed was cancelled last Sunday given the wet and windy weather that took place; both sides took twelve points and in this hottest of summers on the whole the ironic thing is that

Yeovil 3rd XI 181-5 Wellington 3rd XI 104-8

Wellington 3rd XI’s good run in Division Seven South of the Somerset League was ended last weekend at Bradford Abbas CC, near Sherborne, when Yeovil 3rd XI had too much in the tank for the Red and Blacks third string to make it five out of five and so to also have won all their games in July. To this end Wellington were just over the border into Dorset and were confronted with as dry and parched a surface as

Wellington 2nd XI 181 Uphill Castle 2nd XI 182-6

Wellington 2nd XI, bottom of Division Four of the Somerset League, gave a really good account of themselves in this tough away game against divisional leaders Uphill Castle 2nd XI last Saturday, but despite doing well the home side continued their charge for promotion and dealt Wellington’s second string another defeat. Wellington were asked to bat first and saw Trevor Brooks and Mark Salter get 21 on the board for the opening wicket before they were separated. Brooks continued to

Wellington 236-6dec Burnham-on-Sea 9-1

The long hot spell broke in spectacular fashion last weekend when Wellington hosted bottom side Burnham-on-Sea in the Somerset League’s Premier Division and had to settle for much the better of the draw as all games in the division suffered that fate. Going into the game, as a result of Ashbrittle CC’s withdrawal from the division and the subsequent expunging of their playing record, Wellington rose to third in the division and were back in with a shout of challenging

Wellington 3rd XI 260-4 Kilmington and Stourton 2nd XI 207

Wellington 3rd XI maintained their good form in Division Seven South of the Somerset League last weekend with their fourth win in a row and with having pushed the top two sides all the way before this run began they are now in a fifth position with six to play; this was the side’s first win at Sampford Arundel CC since it became the side’s default venue too… On winning the toss Wellington opted to bat and had 15 on

Wellington 2nd XI 108 South Petherton 111-7

Wellington 2nd XI are now some 75 points adrift of last weekend’s opponents in Division Four of the Somerset League as they fell to a tenth defeat of the season in a game that they really had to win. On batting first Trevor Brooks and Rob Moysey both got started with knocks of 12 and 14 respectively, but a feature of the innings was that starts were made, but not taken on to the next level. Mark Bray with 35

Taunton Deane 2nd XI 180-8 Wellington 93

When Wellington had Taunton Deane 2nd XI at 56-7 they had high hopes of despatching the second placed team in the Premier Division of the Somerset League for the same sort of score as had been the case at Wellington back in May when the same quantity was just 79, but former Wellington players Russ and Dave Jones added a fine 83 runs for the Deane’s eighth wicket and with 41 more unbroken runs coming for the ninth wicket this

Ashbrittle Midweek XI 117-7 Wellington Midweek XI 119-9

Wellington Midweek XI took the visit of their Ashbrittle counterparts down to the last over and their last wicket standing last Thursday evening, but when team vice-captain Oli Beale struck a four to win the Red and Blacks had completed the ‘social double’ over the Ashes in what was a great game of cricket in front of a large crowd of spectators who enjoyed another dose of great summer weather. Mark White won the toss and opted to bat and saw Andy

Wembdon Sunday XI 192 Wellington Sunday XI 194-6

Wellington Sunday XI will have gone a calendar year unbeaten if they avoid defeat in their next game and they got to this chance with this four wicket win over WEPL Somerset Division club Wembdon last weekend at home as they made it five wins in five in Division A of the Taunton and District Sunday League to sit top of the shop with three games to play. Wembdon won the toss and batted first and saw Ben Meek and

Wellington 3rd XI 243 Taunton Deane 4th XI 175

Wellington 3rd XI won their third Somerset League Division Seven South match in a row and this was their best win of the season as they won well at Castle School over Taunton Deane’s 4th XI last weekend. Deane won the toss and asked Wellington’s third string to bat first and Oli Beale and Richard Henwood added 81 first up as the home side’s bowling was wayward. Henwood’s good 2018 with the bat saw him make 36 and Beale 16,
