Rain wins the day at Newlands

Rain won the day at Newlands on Friday when no play was possible on the opening day of the season's opening Supersport Series match between Nashua WP and Easterns.

Heavy over night rain initially resulted in the start being delayed. However, rain fell throughout the day forcing the umpires to call off play shortly before 16H00 CAT on Friday afternoon. Play will start 09H30 on Saturday.

In an effort to boost attendance WP Cricket is offering free entry to rugby fans attending the Bankfin rugby match between WP and Free State at Newlands on Saturday evening. Braai facilities will be available throughout the day.
