On a day when three sides failed to reach 50, Kendal were the day's lowest scorers with an extremely modest 29 all out.

It would seem that the recovery from the recent traumas of the rain was not as complete as it could have been and the dampness perhaps had an adverse effect on teams that batted first as every one that did so in the First Division lost.

At a very wet Stanley Park, Blackpool made exactly 100 in 49.5 overs with Tom Reece's 26 being the top score as Werner Coetsee took 5-21. Morecambe took just 21.1 overs to win by nine wickets with 101-1 as Vishnal Goyal made 38, Andy Armstrong 36 not out and Coetsee a quick 22 not out.

Fleetwood made every effort to get Broadwater fit for play and perhaps when leaders Netherfield won the toss they might have wished that they hadn't done so. This was particularly so after four wickets were lost before there were 10 runs on the board. Fleetwood were bowled out in 28 overs for just 46.

Charl Langeveldt, who had started the rot by bowling his compatriot Kyle Smit for nought, finished with 5-19 as Scott Clement took 3-17 and Marc Hadwin 2-8. Netherfield did lose two early wickets in reply but Chris Parry, 19 not out, and Simon Little, 14 not out, saw them home by eight wickets at 49-2.

Kendal meanwhile made an absolute hash of it at Shap Road. They began reasonably enough but once Ikram Ullah was out for 10 the former was out it was a procession.

Terry Hunte made five but there was only six runs from the rest of the batting as they were bowled out in 24.4 overs for a season's lowest total of 29. Shane Harwood, 5-18, and Ian Austin, 5-11, bowled unchanged for St Annes, who then took just nine overs to win the game by seven wickets at 33-3.

It was Harwood's swansong for St Annes as he returns home early next week at the request of his state side Victoria who want to monitor his injury before their season begins.
