Somerset Board XI lose at swindon
Richard Walsh - 25 June 2001

The Somerset Board XI were well beaten by Wiltshire in Swindon on Sunday, in the final match of the 38 County Competition.

Batting first Somerset seemed well placed with Kevin Sedgebeer looking in good form. After hitting a six the Taunton St Andrew's player tried to repeat the shot off the next ball and was out for 41.

From 80 for 1 Somerset slipped to 161 all out with only Matt Bulbeck (41), who was playing as a batsman, making any headway against the Wiltshire attack.

The home side made light work of their target and passed the Somerset total for the loss of one wicket with 24 overs to spare.

Somerset Board manager Peter Robinson said after the match: "It was a disappointing performance, particularly when our side contained five members who play regualrly for Somerset Seconds."
