CRICKET:

RAIN wiped out yesterday's Lake Garage CLL Championship programme, including derby matches at Crompton and Oldham.

There was no play at Glebe Street, where Crompton were due to host leaders Royton. Only a few overs were possible at the Pollards with Oldham on 26 for one against Werneth when play halted.

There was no play in the Championship's other games between Monton and Weaste and Ashton, and Unsworth and Radcliffe.

Owing to LCB Cup action yesterday, matches in the CLL Premier Division were played on Saturday.

Heywood lost their first match of the season when they succumbed by eight wickets to Littleborough at Crimble.
