The summer brought mixed success for the town’s cricket team. A largely frustrating season culminated in a 6th placed finish in the Bristol and Somerset League, although there were notable victories against local rivals Frome in May and league winners Bedminster in August.
As the winter approaches, the Towns football and rugby sides are well into their new season of matches. Midsomer Norton Rugby Club sit on top of the Southern Counties South table, with a perfect record of 6 wins from 6 matches, building on their epic finale to last season.
Unfortunately, Welton Rovers have not been able to capitalise on their good form from last season. Following a promising start to their league campaign, the Towns leading football team have endured a nightmare run of results that see’s them at the wrong end of the league table, at the time of writing.
The Green Army can take some comfort from the sides promising Cup form, which has seen them achieve notable victories in the FA Vase against Budleigh Salterton FC and Exmouth Town. At the start of November, Welton progressed into the 1st Round proper of the competition when the defeated Hampshire based Whitchurch United FC. Could 2016 be the year the Green Army march on Wembley?
Welton Rovers striker Anthony Conradi has also earned an honourable mention in our end of year review, scoring his 50th goal for the Club, in only 79 starts, back in October.
