Bridestowe's title challenge was all-but ended by the weather on Saturday as they again were unable to finish their fixture with South Devon.
South Devon won the toss and batted on a hard pitch and got off to a quick start through Knowles and Allen (25). The rain soon arrived and the ball resembled a bar of soap within the first ten overs. Chris Lavis bowled another fantastic opening spell (2-26) removing both openers, but Raheja (35*) and Wright (26*) chanced their arm and played some good attacking shots before the rain became too heave and the players lef tthe field with the score at 98-2 from 18 overs. Play could not be resumed as the rain never quite stopped, with a frustrating three hour wait before play was finally abandoned.
Next week the first team travel to Ashburton, looking to take back second place in the C West table.
