Full commentary

With that the rain starts coming down a little heavier and the Umpires are taking the players off. Hopefully this will blow through quickly and we will get going again soon.

Match State: Delay - rain

3:45pm The rain seems to have settled in at this point, the main covers are out in the middle. The Umpires are just heading out for an inspection.

According to the weather forecast, the rain is stopping in 12 minutes time, although the truth is that it is barely falling now.

I'm sure once it stops that it won't be long until we are back on again. Hopefully....

4:00pm It's certainly brighten up at the ground, the Sun has broken through. Although it's still raining as well. Cricket in Ireland, it's certainly unique!

4:15pm The rain has started falling harder again here, how frustrating. We still need to be able to fit in another 6.4 overs to make sure that we have a game.

We could be waiting here for a while.

5:00pm. The Umpires are heading out for an inspection, the rain has got a lot lighter but it just doesn't seem to want to stop.

To have an official game, we need to get at least another 38 official deliveries in.

The latest time for us starting again is 6:39pm, although we are losing overs now, so the target will be adjusted when we get back out there. Fingers crossed that we do!

5:40pm It's still raining.

6:00pm Bad news I'm afraid. It's raining here, the Umpires have been out to inspect and there is no chance of getting in any more play before the cut off time. What a shame

Both teams pick up two points for the no result, which means that the Reds move back to the top of the table. Which means going into the final round of games, it's going to be between the Reds and the Warriors for the title.

Just as well that they play each other in their final game on the 1st of July, that's one you aren't going to want to miss!

Thanks for following along today, hopefully you'll join me at the weekend for the second T20 festival, up in Bready. The weather is always good there, isn't it?

Until then, this is Justin Smyth saying goodbye from the Mardyke.
