An already shortened Eden Valley Cricket League programme due to Kendal Calling stand down requests was further decimated by the sudden downturn in our weather.

Only four games managed a start and the re-arranged Senior Cup game on Monday ended with a bowl-off at Edenside, eventually won by Carlisle 2nds.

In the Premiership, Carlisle 2nds (193/4) beat Staffield by 107 runs in a reduced 20 overs game.

Paul Glascott (89) top-scored for the visitors with a notable contribution from young Stan McAlindon (36 not out); Ella Telford (2/28), ending with excellent figures. In reply, Staffield (86/6) never threatened against some good bowling; Jordan Oultram taking 3/18.

In the other match played, Lanercost (102/10) lost heavily at Threlkeld (108/1) by nine wickets. All the Threlkeld bowlers were among the wickets with Ben Sharp (4/21) best of them.

Threlkeld wasted no time, just 17 overs, in reaching their target. Dan Thompson (51 not out) continuing his form from last week leading the way.

There were two games in Division One.

Edenhall (183/3) with Matthew Wilson (103) and Rob Bland (53 not out) putting enough runs on the board to thwart a spirited reply from Nunwick (153/8) which earned them a point. An unidentified opener, with 62, top-scoring for the visitors; Andrew Gate (2/27) best with the ball for Edenhall.

In the other game played at Edenside, Carlisle 3rds found themselves frustrated by the weather which curtailed play with just four overs remaining.

Carlisle (190/8) owed much to skipper Christophe Vever (119 not out) for their total; Lee Hogarth (4/44), back on his old ground, best with the ball.

Wetheral (148/8) with Richard Timperon (49 not out) when the rain came, leaving both sides gnashing their teeth with numerous possibilities of a result still on. Johnny Westgarth (3/24) best with the ball for Carlisle.

All other games failed to register a start.
