Of the pitch, Midsomer Norton Cricket Club parted company with its long time Captain, Nick Potter, whilst Welton Rovers Manager, Nick Beaverstock and Chairman, Stuart Minall, both left their respective roles at the Club. It was a historic year for our local community radio station as well, with the Somer Valley taking top spot for Sport Show of the Year at the inaugural Community Radio Awards.
Another frustratingly inconsistent summer for the Towns cricketers resulted in a fourth place finish in the WEPL Bristol & North Somerset division, yet success was to come to Withies Lane in the form of the Clubs 2nd XI, who won the Fourth Division of the Bristol & District Cricket Association.
As Christmas approaches, the Towns football and rugby sides are well into their new season of matches. Midsomer Norton Rugby Club are struggling to come to terms with life in the Tribute South West 1 West Division. Still looking for their first win of the season (at the time of writing) the Club are hoping that the second half of the season will give them the chance to compete against a standard of opposition they have not previously encountered.
Welton Rovers, under the stewardship of new manager, Clive Scott, got of to a slow start in August, endured a torrid time in September, but have fought back impressively, starting an unbeaten run of results that dates back to October 8th. The Green Army will be looking at the New Year with renewed optimism, not to mention the prospect of a Coalfield Classico with local rivals Radstock Town, on Boxing Day at West Clewes.
