🔥 WELLINGTON TRIO IN THE SPOTLIGHT AS WSBL WEEK 2 DELIVERS HIGH DRAMA 🔥
Wellington BC
B and C team flying, A team floundering — a rollercoaster week for the club
The West Somerset Bowls League served up another action‑packed round of twists and turns, and nowhere was the drama more intense than in the fortunes of the three Wellington sides. From soaring triumphs to sobering defeats, the club experienced the full emotional spectrum in Week 2.
It was another bruising evening for Wellington A, who ran into a rampant Williton A side in a match that never quite swung their way. Despite flashes of resilience, the scoreboard told a harsher truth: Wellington slipped to the bottom of Division One with a -53 aggregate, the heaviest in the league.
Two games in, two defeats, and only 2 points on the board — it’s been a rocky start. But if there’s one thing Wellington A have in abundance, it’s grit. They’ll need every ounce of it as they look to claw their way back into the pack.
If the A team are enduring storm clouds, the B team are basking in sunshine.
Wellington B delivered another commanding performance, this time overpowering Taunton D with confidence and control. Their rink win tally, shot difference and overall composure mark them out as early promotion contenders.
Two matches, two victories, 22 points, and a sparkling +32 aggregate — Wellington B are not just winning, they’re winning with style. They sit proudly in 2nd place in Division Two, neck‑and‑neck with Burnham B in what’s already shaping up to be a heavyweight duel at the top.
Victoria Park B left dazed, confused, and wondering what on earth just happened
If Wellington C were looking to make a statement in Week 2, they didn’t just make one — they hired a brass band, lit fireworks, and carved it into the side of the Quantocks.
In a performance that can only be described as bowling carnage, Wellington C stormed to a 12–0 whitewash, flattening Victoria Park B by a thumping 65 shots to 43. It was ruthless. It was relentless. It was the kind of result that makes opposition skips suddenly remember they’ve “got something on next Thursday”.
Spectators reported scenes ranging from “clinical brilliance” to “mild emotional distress for the home side”. One rink was so one‑sided that rumour has it the marker briefly checked whether the scoreboard was upside down.
A NIGHT OF HEROICS (AND A FEW GIGGLES)- Wellington C didn’t just win — they steamrolled, steam‑cleaned, and steam‑pressed their opponents. Every rink clicked. Every bowl mattered. Every end felt like another chapter in a sporting epic that Victoria Park B will be trying very hard to forget.
By the time the final bowl came to rest, the away supporters were grinning like lottery winners, and the home supporters were staring into the middle distance, questioning their life choices.
One week they’re battling. The next week they’re blowing teams off the green. If this continues, Division Two might need a warning label.
