South Wilts have a second piece of ‘silverware’ in the trophy cabinet – even though their match with St Cross Symondians was abandoned in mid-afternoon.

Last Wednesday’s emphatic Southern Electric t20 Cup winners now have the Premier League’s Time pennant to display as well.

They became ‘all day’ champions for a fifth time in six seasons, having won five of their seven unbeaten games and drawn the other two.

They were scuppered by the rain for only the second time this season – ironically on round 13 of the fixture programme.

South Wilts, having seen Steve Riddle bowled by Richard Logan (2-30) off the first ball of the match, went on to post 239-6 in 64 overs.

St Cross were 12 without loss after seven overs when the rains came.

Teenage duo Jack Mynott (61) and Ryan Burl (48) caught the eye before lunch – the Zimbabwean left-hander being stumped two short of his half-century off spinner Jordan Finney, who jointly tops the Premier League bowling charts.

Having reached 150-3 at lunch, South Wilts wobbled, losing James Hayward, Tom Morton (42) and Joe Cranch in quick succession.

Finney picked up 4-89 – taking his season’s wicket tally to 27 – before James Hibberd (39) and Rob Franklin (32 not out) rallied to take the final total to 239-6.

With a formidable batting arsenal on display, St Cross Symondians might have fancied their chances of chasing down the total, but their prospects of doing so ended when the predictable rain arrived seven overs into the second innings.

The abandonment leaves St Cross still second from bottom, 37 points ahead of Bournemouth.
