At Varley Oval in A Grade only six overs were played with Square & Compass 2-25 against Staggy Creek.
Over at McCosker 1 RSM sent Campbell & Freebairn in to bat in the hope of rolling the side cheaply. They had a glimmer of hope with C & F four for forty six but rallied to be 5-113 when rain intervened. Contributors to the total were Blake Uebergang with 44 and Matt Reynolds 18 not out. For RSM Jack Stafford took two wickets. No B Grade details to hand.
This is the fourth Saturday in the season where no result has been achieved due to bad weather. The Sunday representative game was also cancelled between Inverell and Armidale at Armidale.
