CULLOMPTON captain James Blackmore felt cheated by the weather after his side were rained off against Feniton.

After Feniton had been bowled out for 147 – Jack Granfield taking four wickets and Blackmore three – Cullompton got to 102 for two in reply after 19 overs.

Then the heavens opened – one over short of the point where run-rate can be used to calculate a winner – and Feniton got out of jail.

“We were miles ahead of the run rate after 19 overs and couldn’t have lost,” said Blackmore.

Cullompton make the short trip to Clyst Hydon this Saturday. Feniton are at home to Barnstaple & Pilton.
