Exhall & Wixford v Norton Lindsey & Wolverton Cricket Club Saturday 1st XI on Sat 11 Aug 2018 at 13:30
Match was Abandoned

Match report Last weekend saw a set of results that left Norton Lindsey & Wolverton CC on a huge high, with all three teams delivering notable performances.
The rejuvenated 1st XI travelled to Exhall & Wixford on the back of their first win for six weeks.
Skipper David McInnes won the toss, and with the threat of rain late afternoon, decided to bowl first.
Following his impressive 1st team debut the previous weekend, Andrew Dellow was given the new ball again, and bowling in tandem with McInnes, the youngster delivered another blistering spell.
The experienced Exhall batsmen were made to work hard for their runs, but eventually the pressure told and the home side were reduced to 60-4, with Dellow removing the top three.
Andy Dewar and Richard Blythe took over and continued the pressure as middle order batsmen Robert Perry and Martin Park scraped together some sort of recovery, putting together a stand of 43.
Dewar was especially economical, finishing with figures of 1-17 off his full ten overs, but it was the introduction of Conor Green that broke the deadlock.
He dismissed top scorer Perry (35) with his first ball, which saw the start of a collapse from 103-4 to 147 all out.
Blythe ran through the lower order taking 3-33, then Dellow returned to take his fourth wicket, sending number eleven on his way to close the innings in the 41st over.
With the clouds gathering, Green and Martin Perfect began the reply with the aim of getting through 25 overs ahead of the rate in case of interruption.
In the 17th over they were well ahead but as Perfect (26) was dismissed, the rain suddenly became heavier and the umpires suspended the game.
When there was no improvement, the match was abandoned, leaving Green on 35no and Norton collected a valuable ten points.
This now leaves them over 40 points clear of the relegation zone, amongst the mid-table teams.
