A young Somerset team scored a memorable victory over Gloucestershire Seconds at Bristol University in a three-day match.

Batting first Gloucestershire scored 235, with Wes Durston taking four for 29 for the visitors.

In reply Somerset scored 315, with Arul Suppiah making 69, Wes Durston 61 and Richard Timms 59.

Batting in their second innings Gloucestershire declared at 302 for five, and the Cidermen's young hopefuls reached their target for the loss of seven wickets, thanks again to Wes Durston who made 59 to round off a very good all-round match for him, and Arul Suppiah who made 54.

After the game Somerset second eleven coach Mark Garaway told me: "This was a very pleasing all round performance."
