ANDY Robinson's season ended in personal disappointment when, needing 34 runs to reach 1,000 in the league, the match was abandoned with his score on 24no.

Oulton Park had earlier fielded for three hours of almost continuous drizzle and rain.

Only veteran Geoff Maynard (93) batted with confidence against the Oulton attack before he fell to a bouncer.

Oulton fans had a chance to see their two teenage pace bowlers Danny Jones and Ric Moore in tandem and, according to captain Stewart Eaton, the pair will star against most teams next season with their pace and bounce.

Nantwich eventually closed on 191-6 and Oulton moved to 32-0 before the rain became too heavy for play to continue.

Next week Oulton Park travel to Alderley Edge for the final match of the season when the Premiership trophy will be presented to the Little Budworth side.

l OULTON Park 2nds also fell foul of rain and bad light against Cheadle Hulme.

Batting first Oulton made 185-7 with Steve Yates (60), Jimmy Guest (53) and Simon Torlop (42) top scoring.

Cheadle Hulme moved to 115-7 before play came to a close.

Craig Williamson was the top bowler with 4-59.

This weekend Oulton play host to Warrington.

l LEAGUE leaders New Brighton 3rds eased to a comfortable win over their Oulton Park counterparts on Saturday.

Oulton made 158 with Nick James top scoring on 50.

But New Brighton cruised to 159-3.
