Lincolnshire were again frustrated by the weather when day two of their Minor
Counties championship match with Northumberland at Sleaford was called off
following heavy overnight rain.
Conditions at the London Road venue were already sodden following the weekend
deluge that accounted for both days of the scheduled Bank Holiday fixture
with Bedfordshire.
It means that Lincolnshire have now lost four of their opening six days in
the championship this season, and skipper Mark Fell admitted: "It going to be
very hard for us to now challenge for the title."
Sleaford: Northumberland 176-6 Lincs 178-4. Abandoned as a draw. Lincs 4, Northumberland 1
