In Division One of the Proper Job Weston & District Midweek League, Winscombe batted first against the Lympsham Allsorts and struggled for early momentum.
But 36 from Jory Cureton and some contributions from the lower order batsmen enabled them to post 124-9 with Ross McLeelain taking 3-13.
A cautious reply against some accurate and at times pacey bowling saw the Allsorts behind the required rate on 51-3 but with Jamie Howson still at the crease.
However an astute bowling change by captain George Frappell saw the surprise introduction of James Rutherford whose first ball was an inaccurate delivery but the second resulted in a catch on the boundary before two balls later he induced Howson to dispatch a long hop straight into the hands of mid-wicket.
Thereafter runs became a struggle with 31 required off the last 12 balls, but the penultimate over yielded an array of byes, boundaries and no balls leaving 10 needed off the last over.
Chris Clough concluded an excellent spell of bowling by conceding only four runs and taking two wickets in the final two balls to ensure Winscombe won by five runs.
