Wellington Under 11s vs. Taunton Outcasts Under 11s

Overcast conditions could not dampen the spirits as Wellington U11s travelled to Taunton Outcasts and beat a good side by 27 runs writes team manager Rupert Green.

Taunton Outcasts elected to field and with some fine bowling restricted Wellington to a score of 226.

Good batting partnerships between S.Baycock and O.Burt (7) and G.Hooper and S.Murdoch (11) helped Wellington achieve this total after having lost too many wickets.

Taunton Outcasts main wicket taker was E.Denton (2).

After juice and cake Wellington bowled well and held 3 catches, but the turning point of the game was when J.Bath with an impressive fast ‘direct hit’ run out started the tumble of Taunton Outcasts wickets.

The wicket takers were S.Davey (2) who, in his first game, nearly took a hat-trick!

J.Bath (2), S.Murdoch (1), T.Green (1) and captain G.Hooper (1) also took wickets.

There is no game this Friday, so the next fixture is on Friday 9th June against Taunton Deane A (Away).
