Heavy rain that caused the abandonment of their visit to South Wilts in the ninth over after tea may have been a blessing in disguise for relegation threatened Paultons’.
South Wilts were rattling along at seven runs an over and were going well at 55-1 in pursuit of Paultons’ 204 when the rains came.
The ‘no result’ leaves Paultons third from bottom, effectively seven points above Fawley – but with table toppers Calmore Sports next up at Whitemoor Lane on Saturday, 12.30.
Nigel Feltham blazed a quick-fire 46 (four sixes and five fours) at the top of the innings for Paultons, while Robbie Pike (49) and Josh Metcalfe (27) batted effectively in the middle-order as Paultons made 204 (Tom Pearce 3-48).
But the total was set to come under close scrutiny as Owain Phillips (35 not out) and Tom Cowley had South Wilts well placed when the weather set in.
