REMARKABLY, the Eagley League, played at Eagley Sports Complex, survived the weather and completed its fourth round of fixtures.

Whilst mats protect the most vulnerable areas of the pitches, it is unlikely that the players got through the games without getting wet.

For the first time in four attempts, J&P Ladies overcame the handicap and won against FRASC XI who are still looking for their first points.

The Barbers Shop suffered their first defeat of the season, going down by 27 runs to the still unbeaten leaders Ashbourne XI.

Results: The Barbers Shop 135, Ashbourne XI 162; Dale XI 169, Eagley 'B' 127; Frasc XI 211, J & P Ladies 266 (I).

For the fourth consecutive week, the Breightmet and Halliwell Winter Rounders leagues had all matches cancelled because of waterlogged pitches and for the first time this season, the John Smith's Farnworth League suffered the same fate.
