All games in North Otago were abandoned on Saturday when prolonged rain after two o'clock forced an early finish.
Glenavy looked to be set for a good total against St Kevins after openers Matt Tangney 22 and Hamish McCulloch, put on 72 runs for the opening wicket in 19 overs. St Kevins then responded with two quick wickets, to leave Glenavy 92/2 after 22.2 overs when players were forced from the field. McCulloch was 56 not out at the close of play.
At Milner Park, 7th placed Waitaki Boys batted first against the top-of-the-table Oamaru. Opener Hunter Wardle continued his fine form in recent weeks finishing with 51 not out, as the High School was 88 runs for the loss of two wickets in 25 overs before the players left the field.
With 6th-placed Valley and 5th-placed Albion desperate for points, the game at Weston continued for a longer period than the other games when the rain started to fall.
Albion batted first and looked to push the pace throughout their innings. This approach allowed Valley to make inroads into the Albion batting with only Tarras Beadsmore 29 making double figures leaving his side 103-9. An entertaining last wicket stand from Aneesh Bose, who scored his 34 not out of 26 balls, and Anthony Docherty scoring his 20 of 15 balls, then put on 51 for the 10th wicket. Albion all out for 154 in 28.3 overs.
For Valley, Lochie Mavor took 3-48 of his 10 overs, George Mavor 3-27 of 5 overs and Jack Cameron 3-36 of 8 overs.
The game was abandoned after Albion finished their innings.
With four rounds left before the top four play-off in the Semi-Finals, Oamaru sits on top with 28 points, St Kevins 24 points, Union have 22, Glenavy 18, Valley 12, and Albion and Waitaki 8.
