A club spokesperson said: “Their support is greatly appreciated for a second season in a row. This season also welcomes a ground sponsor in Lloyd & Whyte Community Broking and the ground at Wellington Playing Field will be named 'The Lloyd & Whyte Cricket Ground' in both 2026 and 2027 following a two year sponsorship agreement.

Wellington CC is also supported by Tonegate Motors, Carly Press and NewEra Cricket this season.

On Saturdays the clubhouse is open as soon as matches get underway and the club welcome social members to support their teams.

Meanwhile, Wellington lst XI will be hoping for a rain-free day when they play at home to North Perrott in the Somerset Division of the West of England Premier Cricket League on Saurday, May 23 (12 noon).
