Today's 12th round of matches in the ECB British Gas Southern Premier and Hampshire Leagues have been completely wiped out by heavy overnight rain which waterlogged grounds across the county.
All 20 scheduled Premier League games were called off by lunchtime and most, if not all, the HL programme was cancelled. It is the first time this season the elements have struck.
With league positions based on a points per match average, South Wilts take a 15-point lead into next weekend's final ninth week of Time pennant games.
They visit the Hampshire Academy, while Lymington can pick up their first team prize since the inception of the Premier League in 2000 by winning the Time flag (they have won five of their seven all-day games and drawn one) when they host New Milton.
The widespread washout means Basingstoke & North Hants and Calmore Sports continue to share top spot in Division 1, with 175 points each. Third placed Bournemouth are nine points behind, with Rowledge and Tichborne Park cast adrift at the bottom.
Totton & Eling are 20 points clear of OTs & Romsey in SPL2, with in-form St Cross Symondians II 11 points behind. Hambledon are locked at the bottom.
Basingstoke & North Hants II lead Waterlooville by 15 points at the top of Division 3, where Bashley (Rydal) II look to be the only other promotion contenders.
At the bottom, meanwhile, Hursley Park, Alton II, Fair Oak and Fawley go into the last six weeks of the season fighting for survival. Two go down, with Portsmouth & Southsea currently topping Hampshire League County Division 1.
