Wellington 2nd XI are still seeking an opening Somerset League Division Four win this season as Ilton completed the double over the Red and Blacks second string 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
Wellington returned to winning ways last weekend in the Premier Division of the Somerset League when they completed the season’s double over Winscombe to win by five wickets with a good number of overs to spare, collected 33 points and consolidated fourth place at the same time. Winscombe won the toss and batted on a hard, white track and saw that Fraser’s 62 was the mainstay score of their innings. Hall with 33 and Scanlon with 30 were other solid
It was an all action affair at Wellington last Wednesday evening when the Red and Blacks took on Somerset League Division Three leaders Trull in the quarter finals of the Somerset Cricket Board’s Intermediate Knockout Cup and with run rates of nearly nine an over and seven an over on show in the two innings the bat was certainly in the ascendancy. Trull were on the back foot somewhat at 14-2 as openers Sapey and Parker were dismissed to give
Wellington Sunday XI went to the top of Division A of the Taunton and District League and made it four wins from four games when they won by 58 runs at WEPL Somerset Division club North Petherton last weekend in a game that was reduced to 30 overs per side due to the home Club’s First Team taking on Ilminster CC in a Somerset Cricket Board Major Cup Semi Final that morning… Macaulay Campbell chose to bat on winning the toss
In some of the hottest conditions of this excellent summer season Wellington 3rd XI made up for their opening day defeat in South Somerset with this four wicket win over Broadway and Horton’s reserve side in Division Seven South of the Somerset League; with the Club’s main playing facility having become available it gave the Red and Blacks third string a chance to play at headquarters so to speak and it was the visitors who opted to bat first on
Wellington came within an ace of completing the double over Taunton St Andrews 2nd XI on a very hot day at the Wyvern Club last Saturday, but could just not quite muster the seven runs that they needed off of the last over to seal the deal. TSA won the toss and opted to bat first, but before the game could start Wellington had to shuffle their pack as they lost keeper Miles Cave to an injury in the warm
Wellington made a third visit to Appley this season following games in the Baker Cup and the Somerset League and came away with a 12 run win for the Midweek XI as the Red and Blacks defended their lofty total in the face of a 112 run opening wicket stand for the Ashes… Wellington opted to bat first and saw Miles Cave and Ben Evett rattle 30 on the board, but both were out for 12 and 10 respectively by
Wellington Sunday XI played their first Taunton and District Sunday League game in two months last weekend and made it three wins out of three with five to play with this good 38 run win over WEPL Premier One club Taunton St Andrews on the road last weekend… The first rain for a month duly arrived in the form of thunderstorms and saw a 2.30pm start be made, but only two overs got bowled before the players were taken from
Wellington 2nd XI came within an ace of recording their first win in Division Four of the Somerset League for 2018 last weekend when they made the long and detailed trip to the Bath area to take on Peasedown St John and lost by just fourteen runs as they chased a massive 275 to win. PSJ only really got going towards their large total through Lock who made a fine 92 batting at number three… Indeed Wellington’s second string had
At the start of June Wellington were undefeated and just three points away from the summit of the Somerset League; however as June ended they are 51 points back in fourth place in the Premier Division following a disappointing batting display against Temple Cloud given the start that openers Tom Chambers and Neil Hendy had created for their side on winning the toss and getting first use of a good track as the clear and hot weather continued. This was the first
