For reasons best known to Bishops Hull CC, their first team conceded their Somerset League Division Three game against Chard seconds last Friday, which meant that their second team had to do likewise against Wellington's third string in Division Seven South, writes David Derrick.

Therefore, the thirty-five game points were awarded to Wellington, who are now up to second place, replacing Bishops Hull second XI.

A game was fashioned between the Wellington side and a hybrid Hull side for the sake of getting the game on.

For the record, Wellington batted first and made 206-7 in 30 overs, with Archie Evans making a seriously good knock of 107.

Hull made the runs in 20 overs with Jeet Jadeja, Jay Jadejs, and Jake Nichol taking a wicket each.

It had been a surreal day all round.

Wellington third XI entertain Ilminster fouth XI at Sampford Arundel CC this weekend.
