SUNDAY was another disappointing day for the BSF Winter Rounders League with only three games being played.
The Halliwell League matches were called off following a morning pitch inspection which revealed even more water on the surface than last week. To add to the problem, rain was still falling making conditions even worse.
After the withdrawals from the Farnworth League, four matches were scheduled and, although the pitches were in reasonable condition, only three of them went ahead.
Only three Bolton Motor Bodies players turned up, so Advance Computer Systems, having set up the pitch, found themselves with two points but no game.
Section A leaders Darcy lost by nine runs to a determined Adlington side but remain three points clear of Siddons who had a 14 run victory over Hanson.
These results mean that Adlington leapfrog Hanson and move up to third.
New team HBOS Ladies, who will play in Section F of the Summer League, have agreed to replace Morris Roofing in the Halliwell League.
John Smith's Farnworth League Results: Section A -- Adlington 134, Darcy 125; Siddons 167, Hanson 153. Section B -- Capital 80(1), Carl Chapman 79; Bolton Motor Bodies conceded to Advance Computer Systems.
