Weather has caused issues with two straight rounds called off while three of the last six rounds have been affected by either extreme heat or rain seeing games abandoned without a ball being bowled.

Leagues were the unlucky team last week who missed out on six points from the washed out round which has put them further behind Hanwood and Exies Eagles as the three sides battle it out for a place in the finals series.

The Panthers are currently 13 points behind the Eagles while Hanwood are just a point further ahead with four rounds remaining before the finals series gets underway.

For the Leagues side, they will be looking to pick up their first win in three games with their last victory coming against the Hanwood side.

Meanwhile it has been a longer time between drinks for the Hanwood side as after a strong start to the season they have not experience a win since round 10 when they picked up a winning draw against Exies Eagles.

Hanwood will be hoping the return of top scorers Brendan Hicken and Oliver Barrter who were both named in their washout game will turn the fortune as they look to secure their first finals appearance since 2014/15.
