The Somerset Second Eleven match against Middlesex at Ealing last week was abandoned as a draw without a ball being bowled.

In the first match of the season Somerset earned a creditable draw against a strong Warwickshire side during which Matt Bulbeck took his first wicket at senior level. Pete Trego made some good contributions with both bat and ball, which earned him a first team place for the Kent game , and triallist Ian Flanagan, an opening bat who was released by Essex at the end of last season showed quite lot of promise.

Somerset were hoping that Matt Bulbeck would take another step on the road to his recovery in the Middlesex match, but sadly it wasn't to be.

The second eleven are next in action when they play against Gloucestershire at Bristol in the one day trophy on Monday and then entertain Surrey at The County Ground in a 3 day match that starts on Wednesday May 30th.
