CricketHailstorms aren't normally seen at the Bray in August but teatime saw such a torrential downpoor that there was no choice but to call off the game as the square was totally covered in an ice/rain mix!

This may have been a good thing since asked to bat first on an already damp track the Bray had subsided to 92 all out with only Norris (37) putting up much resistance against the pace of Keeping (4-10).

Who knows how the second half may have gone,but with Olney securing their first division status for next season we look forward to playing them on a sunny summer day!
