Defending the title won at Teign Valley in 2005, Wellington Cricket Club easily retained the ‘Spring Salver’ team title with a score of 161 points. Captained by Chris Rudd (36 pts), the winning margin of 14 points (ahead of Wellington Rugby Club on 147) was achieved through four scores in the thirties. Wellington AFC were third on 138 points.
