TWO impressive victories in the space of 48 hours powered Somerset to the top of their Metro Bank One Day Cup group.

On Friday evening the hosts proved themselves to be too strong for their local rivals Gloucestershire and ran out the winners by 35 runs in front of a sell out 5000 crowd.

After being asked to bat Somerset posted 352 for 7 from their 50 overs which included 69 off 75 balls from Archie Vaughan, 83 off 69 from Tom Lammonby and an unbeaten 97 off 66 deliveries by Josh Thomas which included 9 fours and 4 sixes.

In reply the visitors were bowled out for 317 in 47.3 overs, Josh Shaw taking 3 for 62 and JT Langridge 3 for 63.

On Sunday a century from one day captain Lewis Goldsworthy and career best List A figures from James Theedom helped Somerset to a dominant their victory over Warwickshire at the Cooper Associates County Ground.

Somerset skipper Goldsworthy smashed his way to 103 while Theedom claimed four for 54 from 9.4 overs as Somerset claimed the win by 125 runs.

Chasing 338, the visitors were dismissed for just 212 with 10.2 overs to spare.

After being invited to bat first, Somerset lost Vaughan to the fourth ball of the day before a run was scored. After the 10-over powerplay the score had moved to 31, and Savin Perera and Tom Lammonby brought up the Somerset 50 before Perera fell lbw to Rob Yates for 39 while looking to sweep at 70 for two.

The Somerset 100 arrived in the 22nd over before Lammonby went to his third half century in as many matches from 63 deliveries.

The 50 partnership for the third wicket between Lammonby and Lewis Goldsworthy came from 57 balls with the 100 partnership arriving from just 98 deliveries. The stand was eventually worth 102 when Lammonby, who now has 260 runs in the competition, was run out by a direct hit for 85.

Goldsworthy went to his half century from 57 deliveries and shortly thereafter Somerset reached the 200 mark.

The 50-run stand for the fourth wicket came from just 38 deliveries as Goldsworthy and Josh Thomas upped the tempo - 17 runs came from the 41st over as back to back sixes from Thomas took the home side past 250.

Thomas reached his second consecutive 50 from 37 deliveries but fell to his very next delivery, picking out Yates on the boundary to give Jake Lintott a wicket.

Goldsworthy continued to accumulate runs and he went to his century in style by pulling Charlie Taylor into the Somerset Stand for a big maximum.

His hundred came from 88 balls and included two sixes and seven fours.

The Somerset skipper added three more runs to his total before being stumped off Lintott at 300 for five in the 47th over.

Somerset eventually finished on 337 for eight, two runs short of the club’s highest List A score against today’s visitors.

When the visitors replied, apart from Jake Lintott, who hails from Watchet which is where he started his cricketing career, who made a run a ball 52, and Kai Smith (44), there was little resistance as Warwickshire were all out for 212 in 39.4 overs, leaving Somerset victorious by 125 runs.
