Wellington kept up their excellent record in this fixture with a sixth win in seven over the team from the Somerset Levels with this 59 run win last Sunday.

Paul Short opted to insert the visitors on winning the toss at home last Saturday, but saw Devon League 'B' side Brixham get away with a 49 run opening wicket stand between Fletcher (58) and Robinson (30) as they looked at home for some 15 overs.

Wellington's series of pre-season practice sessions paid dividends as the Sunday XI opened the 2008 season with a great win at Somerset League Division Two club Burnham-on-Sea last weekend when a great performance in the field - particularly from the spinners - brought about a 37 run win.

I thought I'd posted these months ago, but it seems not, so here is the 2008 Senior Fixture list.

Wellington Sunday XI braved the elements and persevered to play a full game against Street and this proved to be a good decision as the Red and Blacks ran out as winners by 54 runs to complete a friendly double over the team from the Somerset Levels.
David Derrick opted to bat first on winning the toss and it was Rob Moysey and David Marshall who got things going well with a 64 run stand.

Rob Moysey and David Marhsall set a new club record for a 3rd wicket partnership, scoring 223 runs together against Langport.

Wellington Sunday XI's home friendly with Chard was washed away as Courtland Road took on the look a boating lake through the heavy and persistent rain that battered the ground after 24.1 overs had been bowled.
A dry morning had raised hopes that the better weather that the 2nd XI had finished in was going to linger long enough to get a game in and a prompt start was made at 2.30pm.
