WELLINGTON maintained their tremendous start to the season with a 104-run win over North Petherton in the first round proper of the limited-overs Baker Cup cricket competition yesterday evening (Mon).

Wellington skipper Aaron Campbell stroked 80 runs as Wellington made 179-5 in their allotted overs, while fellow opener George Ruell scored 37.

It was a target far beyond Petherton who were bowled out for 75 with Sri Lankan spin king Sandaken Pathirana taking 5-8, proving unplayable, while Jack Beal snapped up 3-17.

Wellington are top of the Somerset Division of the West of England Premier League and are unbeaten.

They play again at the Playing Field this coming weekend when North Perrott are the visitors.
