All NDCA games washed out again

Four Narrabri District Cricket Association one day matches were scheduled to be contested on Saturday across the two grades.

Round 10 of the first grade 45-over competition was a highly anticipated one where the Western Imperial Razorbacks were to meet RSL at Collins Park while Tatts and Civeo were scheduled to contest a top-of-the-table match at Leitch Oval.

All four of those games were washed out which meant that Tatts (first) and Civeo (second) both moved to 46 points, the Razorbacks remained a win behind that pair on 40 points, and last-placed RSL remained two wins behind the Razorbacks on 28 points.

That means that RSL must win its last two games to have any chance of qualifying for the March 7 preliminary final.

RSL needs the Razorbacks to lose their remaining two games while also jumping the Wee Waa-based side on net run rate in the process.

In round 13 of the second grade one day season on Saturday the Razorbacks were scheduled to play at Gately Field against Civeo, while RSL was set to take on Crossroads at Hogan Oval.

Both of those games were washed out which meant all four teams received four points, while Tatts received seven bye points.

Those washouts meant that defending one day champions and 2019-20 T20 premiers RSL became the first team to secure a spot in the March 14 grand final.

With two rounds remaining RSL is on 76 points, more than two wins clear of second-placed Civeo and third-placed Razorbacks which are both on 61 points.

Tatts is fourth on 58 points and Crossroads is last on 43 points.

This weekend there are four more matches scheduled to be played across the two grades.

In round 11 of the first grade one day campaign Civeo and RSL will go head-to-head at Collins Park, and the Razorbacks and Tatts will face off at Leitch Oval.

In round 14 of the second grade competition the Razorbacks and Crossroads will play against one another at Hogan Oval, while RSL will challenge Tatts at Gately Field.

Civeo has the bye which means it will receive seven points.
