INDOOR CRICKET RAINED OFF

By Kevin White, Alford CC
It sounds bizarre but the East Lindsey Indoor Cricket League Division One fixture between Louth Cricket Club and Alford & District Club 'B'on Sunday November 1 at Skegness was 'rained off' mid-way through the Alford innings with the game poised for a tight finish. Louth had scored 129 for 2 from their 12 overs and Alford's reply stood at 77 for 2 with in form batsmen Ross Dixon and Gary Allis setting up a close finish when torrential rain outside started leaking into the hall leaving three puddles on the pitch and a damp patch on the matting. After one mopping up session and further deliberations, the umpires and hall management abandoned the game due to safety considerations.
Does anyone have a spare set of covers they could donate to the hall?
