Over a quarter of all Horwath Pulleyn Hesleton York Vale Cricket League games have been lost to the weather this season.

That's almost twice as many as the whole of last season.

Last weekend the heavy downpours saw the entire programme wiped out - the league's first blank weekend for over four years.

The league's cup competitions, the Horwath Pulleyn Heselton and Prendergast Cup competitions are both running behind schedule.

The next rounds are due to be played on June 17 and clubs are reminded that if it is not possible to play this coming Sunday then the fixtures should be played on an evening.

Clubs should advise league secretary Shane Hargrave and press secretary John Parkin of their cup arrangements.
