Alistair Rigby’s 103 century went unrewarded for bottom side Bolton Percy when their Premier Division match at Flixton was abandoned early in the second innings.

Jamie Nesfield (4-69) and Richard Malthouse (3-41) were both in the wickets for the visitors, but the home side still managed to reach 261 before being bowled out, the total including a half-century from Tom Atkinson (71).

The home side had just begun their reply reaching 37-1 when play was abandoned.

Scarborough 2nds were probably glad the heavens opened to halt their Division Two Ebor game at home to Stamford Bridge 2nds as they were 127-7 from 39 overs.

Tom Precious (36) was the only home batsman to shine as the wet weather came to the North Marine Road club's rescue.
