Another weekend of wet weather meant Gisborne and District Cricket Association, GDCA, matches were either cancelled or called off early.
All but one McIntyre Cup match was cancelled on Saturday – the only action recorded between the seconds teams of Romsey and Sunbury Kangaroos, in which Romsey racked up 41 runs before play was stopped in the fifth over.
In the Johnstone Shield, Kilmore also got underway in its home match against East Sunbury and recorded a score of 4/33 before the match was called off in the 19th over.
Harley Hammond Reserve was the busiest GDCA ground on Saturday, as Broadford’s seconds hosted Rupertswood – the visitors amassing 167 runs off 50 overs before being bowled out, leaving Broadford to bat for 15 overs and make 49 runs.
On Sunday, the GDCA’s women took to the field, with Kilmore travelling to visit Gisborne for the one-day match.
In the end, it was Kilmore that came out on top, with Megan Farrell, 37 runs, and Taylah Logie, 35 not out, leading the way to the final scores of 1/102 to 1/95.
Play will resume in the two-day matches of the men’s competitions this weekend, with Romsey playing Sunbury Kangaroos, Kilmore hosting East Sunbury and Riddell at home against Wallan with matches revised to change to a one-day format.
