BOTH of Norton Lindsey and Wolverton CC’s Cotswold Hills League matches fell foul of the weather last weekend.
Norton’s first team saw their game at FISSC abandoned without a ball being bowled.
And the club’s second team managed 26 overs of play before persistent rain put pay to their fixture against Southam.
Norton reached 71-6 on a difficult wicket before play was abandoned due to rain.
However, the club’s annual fixture against Tired Old Fixtures went ahead as planned.
The game featured Norton players from over the years.
The likes of James Thomas, Iain Morgan, Paul Ashley, Jack Andrews and John Maundrell took to the field against Norton’s current players.
Norton won by 42 runs as Joe Williamson (51 retired), Toby White (50 retired) and Max Ashley (42) all impressed with the bat.
Kieran Ashley (3-27) starred with the ball for the Old Tigers who needed 193 in 35 overs for victory.
Morgan (27), Jack Andrews (32) and Mark White (39 not out) scored well with the bat for the Old Tigers.
However, Martin Hall (3-19), Jack Mann (2-8) and Reichana Roberts (0-10) bowled economically to restrict the Old Tigers to 150-9.
Norton’s first team are next in action against Exhall and Wixford on Saturday, June 13 with play to start at 12.30pm at Wolverton Road.
The club’s second team travel to Rowington with the game to begin at 1pm at Rowington Green.
