Difficult start for Women
Wells Journal
|June 05, 2025
ESMAE MacGregor claimed career-best T20 figures as Essex’s bowlers ripped through the Somerset batting line-up to secure their side's first win of the Women’s Vitality Blast at Chelmsford on Sunday.
The Essex medium-pacer finished with 4-8 from 3.2 overs, while leg-spinner Abtaha Maqsood took 2-16 as the visitors were rolled for just 84, with Fran Wilson their only batter to reach double-figures.
Somerset had looked strongly-placed at halfway after seamer Ellie Anderson’s 3-19 restricted their opponents to 149-7, opener Lauren Winfield-Hill top-scoring with 42 from 25 balls.
Speaking after the game, Somerset head coach Trevor Griffin said: “At the halfway stage, we were really happy - we thought Essex were about par. In the field we stayed in the game and worked hard, the out-field’s quick.
“I was really impressed with the way Ellie Anderson bowled, she was outstanding and we had two great catches from Olivia Barnes.

From Sudan to Wells – mayor shares his remarkable story
IS truth sometimes stranger than fiction? Quite possibly. Could you write it? A ten-year-old boy from the Sudan, speaking no English, arrives in London in 1981. Forty-four years later he becomes the 651st Right Worshipful Mayor of a beautiful, quintessential tiny English city in the rural south-west of England. True or false? Totally true. We are talking about Councillor Louis Agabani and, of course, we are talking about Wells, and we are at the November meeting of Wells Civic Society, where Louis told his story.
