Looking at the forecast, I think it's one of those days when they know it'll rain heavily in places but they aren't entirely sure where it will happen. I think we are all subject to a bit of luck today, games that miss the heavy stuff should be ok.

Certainly is like. Outfield looked like Lords
Cracking set up there - football pitch is absolutely class too. Better than most Northern League grounds.
Takes you back to the good old days of Miners Welfares and such when everywhere had class pitches.

Phil Mustard and Chris Rushworths home club, both started in the under 13s there. Such a shame it's another club that doesn't have junior sides any more.

Do you have an option to sit it out till a certain time think we might have been able to get back on but umpires made the call
In DCL you need the team batting first to get at least 35 overs if the rain comes after the start, and the team batting second then need to get at least 25 overs back to constitute a game. When we went off at about 3pm Whiteleas had faced 25 overs; so we were able to work out the latest time at which we could get back on. This was 5.15pm as -
We needed to get another 35 overs in (10 more for them, then 25 for us)
The game finishes at 7.30pm
There are 17 overs an hour
That meant 2 hours 5 minutes to get 35 overs in - with 10 minutes added for the change of innings that meant a 5.15pm restart.
Luckily the rain finished at about 4.45pm and the ground was playable in time to get back on at 5.15pm.
Hope that makes sense!!
