Somerset Seconds pull off remarkable two day victory
Richard Walsh - 22 August 2002



Somerset Seconds recorded a remarkable two-day victory over Kent at Beckenham today to end their season on a high point.

Resuming on 120 for 6 this morning Somerset were eventually dismissed for 149, with their former player Ben Trott ending with 6 for 45.

Batting for a second time Kent were all out for just 79, with Pete Trego ending with 3 for 45, Phil Lewis 3 for 19 and Graham Rose 4 for 12.

Veteran all rounder Rose ended with match figures of 7 for 13 which may well be one of his best ever returns.

Needing 81 for victory Somerset cruised to their target with Piran Holloway leading the way with an unbeaten 62 which included 4 x 6's and 6 x 4's supported by Matt Gitsham who ended with 23 off 22 balls.

From this match Somerset take 16 points and Kent take 5.
