Wellington Sunday XI are on a twelve match unbeaten streak that goes back to July 2017 following this 30 run friendly win over Wombats at Bishops Lydeard last weekend. Following the demise of the Lydeard club in 2015 Wombats took over the running of the ground and this is now their home venue and a quality track had been prepared for this match. Wellington chose to bat first on winning the toss and found themselves at 8-2 before Jack Beal
Wellington 3rd XI made the long trek to Kilmington and Stourton on Saturday to take on the home side’s 2nd XI in Division Seven South of the Somerset League and came away with 35 points following a round journey of over one hundred miles that saw them visit Somerset, Wiltshire and Dorset in one day, but it was well worth the effort as a superb all round performance from Richard Henwood (five wickets and a half-century) laid the base for

This 115 run win for Wellington Sunday XI saw that they keep up their unbeaten start to the 2018 season as they hosted the West Somerset League side last weekend on another pleasant spring day that saw a good numbered crowd take in the day’s play.

This was a narrow defeat for Wellington 2nd XI in Division Four of the Somerset League at home to Ilton last Saturday when a decision to chalk off a wicket for Wellington had a profound effect on the game… Wellington were asked to bat first and saw Trevor Brooks and Rob Moysey dominate matters with a 54 run opening wicket stand and all was going well until Brooks was LBW for 31 and when skipper Moysey was caught in the
