Wellington took a giant stride towards the SCCL Premier Division final after beating second-placed Shrewsbury II at London Road in a nervy encounter on Saturday. The home side batted first and would have been satisfied to put a challenging total of 187-7 on the board after 40 overs. Llyr Thomas (75) held the innings together for the hosts, whilst Steve Brooks, Tom Ellis and Dan Lloyd all claimed two wickets. Wellington’s chase began solidly enough with the side advancing to 92-2 at the halfway stage, before the quick wickets of Ben Byram (24) and Lloyd (18) threw the game into the balance. However, skipper Wendell Wagner (41*) found great support in the form of Matt Lamb (38) and the pair weathered the storm to set-up a final over, five-wicket victory.
