Lansdowne prevail in cup rematch

The Umpire's Cup final was delayed and shortened by rain, but still ended in a tight battle between victors Flight Centre Lansdowne and Red Star.

Lansdowne set a total of 175 in Sunday's cancelled game, and after 14 overs Red Star was at 55 not out before the weather took over the pitch.

Monday's rematch was delayed from an expected 11am start to 1.30pm, and shortened to 42 overs.

Red Star opened the batting and set a challenging target of 203 with the loss of six wickets, with an in-form Greg Todd scoring 88 not out and Joe Hull 35.

Bowling for Lansdowne Chris Jefferies took two wickets for 39, and Matthew Stringfellow three for 42.

Top-scoring Lansdowne batsman Jamie Holmes said the target was "in the circumstances a really high total" to chase, considering a worn pitch at the end of the season, and the weather conditions.

Lansdowne batters scored 205 with the loss of six wickets and with eight balls to spare.

Opening batsman Holmes scored his 56 runs in 88 balls before being caught at cover by Greg Todd off a ball by Aaron Wilson.

Other high scorers were James Adamson with 44, and Matthew Stringfellow 45 not out.

Greg Todd bowled two wickets for 26 runs, and Aaron Wilson took two for 41.
