Metrobank Game 8 Beat Lancs or Bust

The last of the first phase games in thios year's 50 over competition. We face Lancashire and have the position of still being able to qualify IF we win AND Warks win AND Glos win AND neither of them do it with a better NRR than us. Winning is our only priority today. if the rest falls into place then we will cntinue. If they don't we'll assess a 4:4 record with all the wins at home and all the losses away. That is IF we win. Lewis has won the toss and put Lancashire in. Sav Perera returns in the battnf and Migael Pretorius returns to the bowling. Let battle commence.
Metrobank Game 7 Away in Northamptonshire

The last away match of the first part of the Metrobank 50 over competition and it has not been very fertile ground for Somerset. They will hope a young side will change that this afternoon as they chase a possible qualifying spot after smashing Surrey on Friday. Lewis Goldsworthy won the toss and will bat first
Metrobank Game 6 - Surrey at Home

Welcome to gridlocked Taunton for the Surrey match at 2pm on a Friday when they've closed half the roads in and then started the Taunton Flower Show. Jack Leach is in a young side for this one - maybe we've decided it's worth playing the up and comers as the two losses last weekend have pretty much us out of the running in this competition. Surrey have won the toss and will bowl first.

Hungarian GP: End to a tough weekend for Williams F1 Team

Sunday's race for the 2026 Hungarian GP would be a tough one for both Atlassian Williams F1 Team drivers with Alex Albon finishing 17th and Carlos Sainz 18th. For both drivers it was very much the case of getting the best out of what is still a very difficult 2026 car. For Alex his race marked his 100th for the Williams F1 Team so it was a shame that his race performance did not see him come away with a better result. For Carlos he would have a moment where he would make conatct with the McLaren of Piastri and he was been lapped. He would receive a penalty that would drop him down the order. Overall it was another tough weekend for the team and now with the summer F1 break it is hoped that the team can recover in the second half of the 2026 F1 season.
Hungarian GP: Tough qualifying for Williams F1 Team

In what has been described by both Atlassian Williams F1 Team drivers, Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon, as a tough weekend the 2026 Hungarian GP weekend has seen both drivers struggle across all the practice sessions. And this would continue from practice and into qualifying with Carlos only managing 18th and Alex one place behind in 19th. It could only be described as one of the poorest results so far in 2026. Across their practice sessions and qualifying both drivers would complain of a car that was inconsistent in its ontrack behaviour. And to make it even more frustrating the team has been struggling to understand the reasons behind these issues. Such is the situation it is going to be a very tough race on Sunday for the team and drivers.
Hungarian GP: Tricky Friday for Atlassian Williams F1 Team

In a day that saw the Atlassian Williams F1 Team come away with Alex Albon 16th and Carlos Sainz 17th the team would still have a productive Friday in preparation for the 2026 Hungarian GP. There is still a lot of overnight work to do for the team as they try to resolve various issues including overheating of the rear tyres. But despite the times the team still feels that they had a better Friday than they did at Spa.
