The miserable weather on Saturday wrecked the cricket programme.
At Steephill in the Southern Electric Premier League division 2 match with Burridge, Ventnor reached 145-3 before rain forced an abandonment, Alex Lloyd top scoring with 60, Neil Westhorpe 35 and Ian Hilsum 31. Their visit to Rowledge on Saturday in the first v second clash will almost certainly decide the championship with just two weeks of the season remaining. Matt Compton and John Birchall return to a Ventnor side which know a win over their Surrey border rivals will take them back to the top of the table.
The second and third teams suffered a similar fate as one of the worst summers since weather records began continued to take it’s toll.
