Champions Wellington are gunning for more success

A six-wicket success at Sentinel on Saturday clinched the Premier Division title with a game to go and now Lloyd has his sights on securing promotion to the Birmingham League via the end-of-season play-offs and a national cup triumph.

“It’s been a great effort from everyone at the club and a real chance to create our own legacy on top of what is already a club with great tradition,” said Lloyd.

“To win the league at Sentinel, where the 1998 league-winning side lifted the trophy was so special for many of the spectators and supporters.

“We’ve created so many great memories for each other, our families and the members of the club. We all can’t wait to celebrate as a group at Orleton Park this coming weekend.

“We’ve been fantastic to this point, but there’s unfinished business. We have the chance of an unbeaten season and a national T20 final against Old Elizabethans.

“As a group, we have a chance to create history and do something unprecedented. As well as the opportunity to gain promotion and re-establish the club in the Birmingham League.”

William Mashinge was the star of Saturtday’s title-clinching success. he made an unbeaten 80 as Wellington chased down Sentinel’s 188-6, which was built around 63 from Deswin Currency and 46 from Ed Ashlin.

The visitors batted first and were going well at 108-2 thanks to Josh Darley (55) and Robbie Clarke (67 not out).

But then spinner Kuldeep Diwan (7-36) ripped through their line up as they were dismissed for 199.
