Abandoned matches were the order of the day in South Lincolnshire & Border League with only two games played to a finish on Saturday and one on Sunday.

Nevertheless, there were some notable performances, Ishan Jayaratne hitting and unbeaten 134 for Boston 2nd against Long Sutton and Peter Houghton (141) and Norman Brackley (104 no) piling on the runs for Skegness against Billingborough before both games were washed out.

Houghton has now topped 600 for the season.
